Printing blank lines

J

John Baker

Can anyone please help?
I have a report to produce where I want to insert blank lines when needed.

Each record has a group number. There may be 1 or more records in each group
of records (usually less than 5 records per group).
When there are less than 5 records I want blank lines to be inserted to make
sure there is always at least 5 lines per group. That is sometimes there
will be for example only 1 record which would then be followed by 4 blank
lines.

Any help greatly appreciated in being able to do this

Look at this previous posting from Stev Arbough

This problem is similar to creating a report that has a
fixed number of lines on a page, whether or not there is
data to fill those lines (e.g. a formatted orders
report.) If you look on our web, in the free files area,
there's a download called "Other Reports" which contains a
report that will fill a page with a specific number of
rows. Take a look at that; it will likely help you reach
your goal here.
