Drawing vertical lines that extend to the bottom of a report

rbuser

Hello,

I need to display lines that separate the columns vertically that start at
the bottom of the title band and extend all the way to the footer,
irregardless of how many items there are in the dataset displaying in the
detail band.

I also need the footer to stay at the bottom of the report and not at the
bottom of the detail band.

What I am trying to do is create a form for an invoice and/or packing list
that displays in boxed sections.

I have looked at some of the 3rd party controls available on the DM site but
have not seen this.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Reid,

You can add extending lines at the bottom of a report by creating individual
draw commands to handle each line. Below is an example of printing lines to
the bottom of a report after the dataset has finished traversing. You will
just need to make them verticle and line them up to lines you create in the
detail band.

Instead of using the footer band, create a group around a static label and
use the group footer. Then you can adjust the PrintPosition of the band.
Be sure then to set the group to print on subsequent pages.
