How Do I?

Programmatically create a form feed?

RB doesn't support a form feed explicitly, because the report engine needs
to know that it shouldn't print anymore on the current page. If you want to
end the page as the report is generating, then use a group in the report and
code the OnGetBreakValue event. Set the group to start on a new page in the
groups dialog. Base the group on a static label in the report so that the
group never breaks unless you want it to in the OnGetBreakValue event.
Change the break value to any different string than before in order to force
a group break, since it is based on a text comparison.

Ok, now is there a way to put a border around my fields without using the
line component?

Options:

1. You should use a TppLine and use its Shift* and Stretch* properties to
have it draw correctly. Does it not work for your case?

2. Place them all in a region. The region will draw a line around them and
can stretch to contain them

3. Create draw commands based on the output that the RB engine created on
the page. Here is an example of usng lines and a draw command to place a
border around a page breaking group:
