How to create a form (invoice) with columns and detail data
OK, I am not sure how to do the following:
I need to create a simple invoice style form, as I have header data and
detail data lines. This part is easy. But, what i need is to be able
to have drawn columns that extend the whole detail area all the way
down to the footer area. I am not sure what to do. If I add a
verticle line into the detail band, this works fine if the detail line
prints the whole say 20 lines and hits the footer. But, if I only have
say 3 detail lines, how can I get the line to print all the way to the
bottom? I hope I explained correctly. Any suggestions?

The easiest way to accomplish this is to add the lines to the Page Style
band. This will print behind any report objects on every page. You can
activate the Page Style band by selecting Report | Page Style from the
designer menu.

This works for vertical lines. But i need horizontal lines for the
detail band, from start of the detail band to the footer even if there
are fewer lines in the detail.
It is hard to accomplish this with this solution, because I have to
manually put 30 or more lines and try to sync the detail with the lines.
It drives me crazy any other solution?
