Hi

I need to create a invoice report that the has table like qualities.

Date Description Amount

the fields would go under the respective headings but the customer wants it to look like a box is drawn around it. Now I can create the detail portion and all the items come into the section but How do i draw a static box around the detail?

Would I need to draw the box and put labels in the positions needed then populate the caption of the labels?

Thanks

Hi
Do you mean set the border style of each control to solid, or draw a single box around all the details:

| Date Desc Amt |
| |

You can include vertical lines on your report as well as drawing horizontal lines. The trick with the vertical lines is to draw them so they match up between records (with no space). It takes some experimentation, but it can be done. I've never been satisfied with setting borders for controls because the printed line widths vary due to overlapping.
