Trouble with reports

Hi everybody,

I'm working with Access 2003, making a bill, and I have a problem when
I want to fill the Detail Section with two lines (one at the left
margin and one at the right margin) which covers the "distance"
between all the Detail Section and ends at the top of the Bottom of
Page (I don't know if I am using the right terms, I'm working with
spanish version of Access).
The Detail Section contains different concepts of the bill (price,
quantity, description...) and it not contains ever the same amount of
this concepts in different bills... I tell you this because I need
that this lines that I need to create don't trespass to the next
section.

Anybody knows how can I do this? I need your help...

Thanks a lot!!!

XaviNP,
We probably have a bit of a language problem here, but I think I
understand what your looking for.
Lets's say we have this sample Detail section, and that the detail
section will vary in vertical length.

Qty Price Description

To add a vertical line to either side, add a vertical Line object to each
side, that equals the height of the the DetailSection.

| Qty Price Description |

When printed, these individual vertical lines will connect to form a line
on either margin, the height of the Detail Section.

Detail Start -----------------------------
| Qty Price Description |
| Qty Price Description |
| Qty Price Description |
Detail End ------------------------------

Hi Al Campagna!

That's what is happening now in my application, just as you are
explaining. But the problem is more explicit: I want to have the same
size of vertical lines on either margins, that's is:

NOW (as you said):
Detail Start -----------------------------
| Qty Price Description |
| Qty Price Description |
| Qty Price Description |
Detail End ------------------------------
Click to expand...

I WANT:
Detail Start -----------------------------
| Qty Price Description |
| Qty Price Description |
| Qty Price Description |
| (blank) |
| (blank) |
| (blank) |
Detail End ------------------------------
OR:

Detail Start -----------------------------
| Qty Price Description |
| (blank) |
| (blank) |
| (blank) |
| (blank) |
| (blank) |
Detail End ------------------------------
Click to expand...

As you can see, the space between Detail Start and Detail End will be
ever the same, despite of it could be more or less blank lines... do
you understand?

Thanks a lot for your help Al!
