Report Line Issue

#1

The report writer is a bit of a mystery to me, but here’s my specific question.

I have put a ReportLineShape in the body section of the report. I want it to print over the data for a particular person. There may be more than one line for each person, and I don’t want the line to print until the name changes. I can test the name change and make the line invisible in the BeforePrinting event in the line if the next name is the same, then make it visible again when it does change.

My problem is that the line only calls that event at the top of every page rather than for each line (record) in the report, so I only get it at the top of the 1st record on each page. I would have thought putting it into the body with the fields would make it print above each record unless I make it invisible and then make it visible when the name changes. How do I get the line to be be printed over every record?

Thanks,
Gary

Can someone with the power to do so, please change this conversation to a the General tab. I’m not getting any response here.

Thanks,

I haven’t had a chance to look into this but would a really short rectangle (1 or 2 pixels) work ?

Works like a charm, Norman. Thanks! As usual, you 'da man!
