This isn't exactly a formulas question, but I wasn't sure where else to post it....

I have an image in one of my
Code:
Page Header
sections with that section's
Code:
Underlay Following Sections
value set to yes. When I am formatting the actual report, in all sections that has the picture underlain, all boxes and lines drawn don't appear in front of the image...they are drawn behind the image, therefore not visible when viewing the report. What a drawback of Underlay Following Sections!!!

Does anybody know a work-around to get drawn objects (boxes and lines) to appear in front of the underlain object???

Any ideas or suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!!!!

You can use text boxes to simulate boxes and lines. Set all 4 borders for a box and just one of the borders for a line. You don't have as much flexibilty with line weights as you do with boxes but at least they will print on top of the image like you want.

Thanks dbreed! So, there is no way to actually use lines and boxes? I hoped I was just missing something. Blast!!

Thanks for the suggestion...text boxes it is!
