dividing Report records with a line

Hi Ken
No, it was close to the fields, and I butted it right close, and on the right-click I set it for "To Grid" and now it gives a line under the first row, misses one, prints a line under each of the next 4 and misses one, and then puts it under each of the next 3, which brings it to the bottom of the page. (The set-up is landscape).
I've had very llittle to do with Reports before, but now it's part of the job. Seems somewhat cantankerous.

what's the height of your detail section?
Sorry, Ken, it's restricted stuff. If there's a chance, I'll use some mock info. Course there won't be a chance today. But I'm working on this early in the week, and if I haven't found an answer - and you don't mind looking - I'll do that then.
Pity this week's reports have to have this strange line arrangement. Perhaps I can blame it on the printer. Cheers

That measurement, Ken, is what Properties shows for the height of the Detail section. The thickness of line that I'm using is 'hairline'.
I can't think what is causing the irregularity - I suspect it is to do with something I should state in Properties. I've gone through it a few times, but can't see anything there.
Print Preview shows the lines exactly as I want. But the printing is something else.

Well done, Ken. Thicker lines make it work right. I don't want thick lines, of course. But at least I have the choice now - thick lines and each line where it should be. Or hairline, and some here and some there. I suppose I will learn to love the thicker lines. Sorry to doubt you, craftsman.
mdemarte, thanks for the suggestion. You may well be right, but here there's just a solitary printer, circa 1898 - or seems that way.
You might try the wider line idea yourself sometime. It works with 2pt and later I'll try 1pt, which is closer to the original plan. Cheers, gentlemen.
