Printing a Grid

edited January 2002 in General
Is there an easy way to print a blank grid, like a simple spreadsheet?
TIA.

    There is no native RB grid component. We have lines and shapes, which can be
    placed in the detail band. As the detail band generates over and over
    again, it will result in a grid for your data records.

    Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't work for me. What I am trying
    do is print a blank form for the user to use to gather data while they
    are away from the computer. My detail band is one per page. What would
    be nice is a component that worked something like the table create in
    Microsoft Word. Thanks again for your suggestion as it would work well
    in other circumstances.

    There is a 3rd party grid component in the BuilderControls package, which
    also has a rotated label component. I installed it and the grid is AV'ing
    at delphi design time, for some reason, but is working fine at runtime.
