I have 3 fields in the Data section of my report. Is it possible to place "borders" around those three fields so the data will appear like this?


(I want a solid line not dotted, but just for example sake)

Code:

Kind of hard to demonstrate it in just a post. So I'll go over the 3 possibilities:

1. Individual borders around each field. You can do this by setting the border property on each field.

2. 2 horizontal lines, no vertical. Do this with 2 line objects from the Design ribbon that span the 3 fields.

3. 1 rectangle around all 3 fields, no vertical lines between fields just at beginning of 1st field and end of 3rd field. Use a rectangle object from the Design ribbon.

Well, the textboxes have border properties you can set. There are also the line and rectangle controls you can add.

Try using Gridlines.

I googled gridlines, and the first hit I got was your site.


Way to go, and thanks again!
Hi. Glad to hear you figured out what I meant even before I was able to post a link.
