Columns with borders in reports

rbuser

Hi,

I have a report, where I need 4 columns. When I set up the columns in
pagesetup, I see that I only need to enter the components into one band, and
it repeats from left to right 4 times, which is fantastic!

However, the problem I face, is that I want a border down each side of the
page, just for the detail band. If I put a line on the left side of the
databand, it will repeat that line 4 times, likewise if I also put a line on
the right hand side.

Is their a way to make a component only print if it's column number 1, etc
on a report?

Thanks & Regards

Adam.

Hi Adam,

Two options...

1. Place a TppLine on the right and left side of the detail band and toggle
the visibility of the lines according to the Report.CurrentColumn property
inside the DetailBand.BeforePrint event.

2. Draw static lines in the PageStyle of the report (Report | Page Style|..
from the main menu). This will print all objects behind the actual report
bands.
