Re: Column Lines ...

edited February 2012 in General
Hi All,

It has been a while since i been here. I've jumped back into development
again to try and automate a process that I'm doing.

What I'm trying to do is create an invoice in reportbuilder, I'm trying to
draw column lines, but when i run or preview the report the lines don't
extend to the bottom of the page.

I have a header, detail and footer band and i want to draw the lines to the
top of the footer if possible.

I've tried stretchwithparent property, by the parent is the datamodule and i
don't want to use that, i want to use the height of the report.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Trevor,

    My suggestion would be to place the vertical lines in a PageStyle (Page
    Layer) band so they always print from the top to the bottom of the
    report. The PageStyle can be enabled by adding a new page layer (RB 14)
    or using the Report menu in the designer.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Nico,

    I enabled the PageStyles in the Report menu, i drew the lines where they are
    suppose to be and still get no lines drawn down the page.

    Is there a trick to doing this?

    1. Which version of ReportBuilder are you using?

    2. If you create a new application with an empty report and enable the
    PageStyle, are you able then to see any components drawn when previewing?
