Line across multiple bands in VFP reports 1

[florindaniel]

Hello,
This one is driving me crazy: I can not draw lines starting from the Page header band
down to the Summary band. They stop somewhere in the middle of the page.
It's about printing an invoice and the lines separating the columns.

Thank you

You can't have a single line going from the page header (or from the detail or page foooter) into the summary, because the summary doesn't exist on every page.

However, it's perfectly possible to have a line going from the page header to the bottom of the page footer, and another line going from the top of the summary to the bottom of the summary. If you line them up correctly, they will appear as a single line going down the entire height of the page.

I know it's possible because I used that technique myself.

Mike

It works!
The idea is to have multiple lines, indeed.
But it doesn't work to have lines from the page header to the page footer
since having a shorter page will draw lines all long the page, even empty.

I have drawn single aligned lines in all the areas and it's ok.

Thank you Mike
