Grid Lines

edited July 2001 in General
Sorry, I accidentally posted this into another thread.

Is there any simple way to have a tabular report print with horizontal
and vertical grid lines, as it would appear in a data grid on the form?
Or do I need to draw the row and column lines in the detail band?

Thanks

    You can use the table / field properties form that allows you to choose the
    fields you wish to work with. Then you choose how you want them displayed,
    you click each field you want to use, and then drag them out onto the
    report. It will automatically create a grid for the items with headers and
    fields. I wish they would make it a little more flexible because its not
    really a grid. Its more like a bunch of fields with boxes around them, but
    at least it speeds things a little. If you end up needing to resize the
    fields you end up manually having to shift everything around.

    Perhaps there is an easier method I don't know about though and we'll both
    learn something here...

    Good luck,
