Reports with borders around data fields

[igoodenow]

I am trying to create a report that will have rectangular boxes around different segments of data. There are data fields in the record_type footer (my data) and in the report footer. This shouldn't be hard.
The report has variable length so the box must grow accordingly

thanks in advance for the help

If you want a rectangle around the entire record_type footer and report footer, you are correct, it is simple. Just code the On Print event for each section you'd like a rectangle around with the following code.

Me.Line(0, 0)-(Me.ScaleWidth, Me.ScaleHeight), , B

If you want the rectangle around only a select area of the footers you'll have to play with this code a bit. But, this should at least give you a starting point. Good luck.
