They should meet if the vertical and bottom lines are in the detail band.

RB is a banded report writer. You can resize the detail band to be the
height of the page and print one record per page to emulate forms in
conjunction with the PageStyle band that prints behind all other bands for
the form layout.Here is an example which creates reports, subreports, controls and groups in
code.

Try getting the latest mouse driver, such as one for Intellipoint and see if
that helps. Sometime it simply works because of the reliance of Windows.
There is no explicit support built in to the RB previewer to support
scrolling.
Hi Gary,
We have a digital-metaphors.public.job-exchange newsgroup for topics like
this, for future reference.
You may also want to post in the b.p.d.jobs newsgroup for an additional
