Grid lines on report - acting funky

[lorirobn]

Hi,

I am creating a report, and my user would like gridlines around the details (like how an Excel spreadsheet appears). I am changing the height on the detail line to get it JUST SO - tenth of an inch by tenth of an inch. If it's a little too high, there is a space between one row and the next. Well, I finally got the gridlines to overlap each other, with no spaces in-between. BUT - what's happening now is every 4th grid line is in BOLD, and it looks funny. As I was incrementing the height, I saw this happening with every 3rd line with a different height.

How can I get rid of the bold? How can I get the detail line height JUST SO so that I have normal gridlines? Is there a trick to this?

This is a last-minute report and I'm supposed to have it done for an important meeting in 2 hours...yikes...

thanks in advance for any help..

ps - on closer look, it is not every 4th line that is bold. There's no pattern to it - it's after the 3rd detail line, then 5th row after that, then 4th. It seems like 2 gridlines are overlapping, but I don't know how to get it to stop.

Try putting a horizontal line at the very bottom of the section just above the detail (group header or report header). Then, in your detail, just have a horizontal line at the very bottom of the detail, and your two vertical lines. Also, in the section just below the detail (group footer or report footer), put a horizontal line at the very top. This should prevent any overlapping of lines.
