Grid Lines

rbuser

Sorry, I accidentally posted this into another thread.

Is there any simple way to have a tabular report print with horizontal
and vertical grid lines, as it would appear in a data grid on the form?
Or do I need to draw the row and column lines in the detail band?

Thanks

You can use the table / field properties form that allows you to choose the
fields you wish to work with. Then you choose how you want them displayed,
you click each field you want to use, and then drag them out onto the
report. It will automatically create a grid for the items with headers and
fields. I wish they would make it a little more flexible because its not
really a grid. Its more like a bunch of fields with boxes around them, but
at least it speeds things a little. If you end up needing to resize the
fields you end up manually having to shift everything around.

Perhaps there is an easier method I don't know about though and we'll both
learn something here...

Good luck,
