I am building a form for an Insurance Cert

its a single page and at various points in can be 3, 4 or 5 columns wide. for example with the address section this flows across page

c1; Policy Ref(label); Policy Ref; policy Start date (Label); Date
c2; Address (label); Adress - same width as 3 cols above

At present I am doing this by placing two tablix on top of each other as I can not get Adress to flow over 3 columns. Is this the best/only approach.

I am using the column row borders to separate data. However, I have also tried adding a vertical lines. It looks fine in design but when I run report it moves to a completely different position. How do I anchor lines drawn on a Tablix?

You may have solved this by now and this may not help, but I did a similar form recently. I used a number of textboxes instead of tablixes, with a rectangle to manage them. Then used the before/after pagination property on the rectangle to control paging.

Hope this helps give you some ideas.
