embedded reports contains box around it...

I have a report that includes several other "embedded" reports. Whjen I
print the master report, each of these "embedded" sub-reports includes a
printed box (or border) around them... I do not see anywhere where there is
a property similiar to a text box where you can make the "borderstyle" be
"transparent".

Any help in this matter would be appreciated...

Thanks,

Brad

Brad,
Open the report in Design mode, and select the subform. Set the border
to transparent. You don't set the border for a subreport from within the
subreport, but from the main report.

That;s the problem, there is not a "border" property at all on either the
main report properties or the subreport properties... If you click on a
text box, that property exists...

PS... I am using Access 2000

Brad,
Hmmm... Pretty wierd... I don't have any subreports in 2000, but it
should be the same for 97 and 2003.
Sorry, but I have to ask...
Can you see BorderWidth and BorderColor... but not BorderStyle?
And you do have the ALL or FORMAT tab selected in the properties
dialog box?
Do you have any other reports with subreports that work OK?
Just on a chance, have you checked your References?

No, nothing to do with borders is there at all... And yes, I checked the
"All" tab as well... Very wierd indeed...
Can you set border properties in code I wonder??

Not sure what I should be checking for in the references... It appears to be
ok...

Found it...

I didn;t have the actual subform control that houses the report - instead I
was clicking on the embedded report and border style is not an option - it
is in teh subreport control though...

Thanks for your help!
