Actually, I have two problems. First, the project I'm working on requires me to create a report that exactly resembles an older Foxpro report (ugly, I know, not my call). The Foxpro report has a border around the entire page. I have an idea of how to do this (a line on the top and the bottom as well as lines on both sides in the header, detail and footer) however, it doesn't seem to show up on every page.
Second problem. The same project requires me to place an arrow bmp centered in the center of each side of the page (one on the top, on the bottom, on the left and on the right) I'm not sure how to go about centering the graphic on the left and right sides of the page. Please help.
 
try opening the solutions database, the sales letter reportn then view the help titled Create a Form Letter with a Page Border that should help with problem 1
 
Can anyone help with problem 2?

But thanks capri

An easy way is to open word, and use your drawing toolbar. Get the 4 block arrows, one pointing each way. Then copy each of these arrows in a graphics program, such as Paintbrush, positioning the arrow where you would want it to appear. Save this as arrow.bmp.

Next on your report, on the properties, call this file for the picture background. Make sure that all fields are set to transparent if they will be overlapping.
