printing lines in access reports

I have a report that prints lines between columns in the details section of
the report which works fine if I press the print icon. If I choose File/Print
for multiple copies e.g. the lines print over the entire report and not at
the ends of the columns.

How are the lines created? Are you using code or controls?
I can't figure out what you mean by "lines print over the entire report and
not at the ends of the columns".

I consider columns to have tops, bottoms, and sides.

I made several errors in my first post, sorry.
I am using the code Line command in the Report_Page OnPrint event. The
columns are only within the details section, but by "over the entire report"
I meant they printed from the top margin of the page to the bottom, ie across
the page header, footer etc. The real mistake I made is this was when I tried
to print a PDF report, not with the File/Print command. I bought the Acrobat
upgrade to Vers 7 and will try that.

The File/Print command does not print any lines created by the File/Print
command They only work when printing from the print icon.

thanks

I don't know why File/Print is any different than printing from the icon.

You can limit the height and starting point of the line in your code.
