    Field Borders on a Report


    I am trying to make the appearance of a field on one report identical to the field on another report. When I look at the Border Color for the field on the report I am trying to duplicate the appearance another report it says the Border Color is Background 1, Darker 35 %. When I hit the drop down arrow for the field I am trying to format there is no listing of this type.

    I tried copy the format from one report to the other with both reports open in the design view but that didn't work?

    Why doesn't the drop down menu selection agree with what is printed out for Border Color? Help!

    I know, that is always frustrating. Copy/paste the string should work or can type into the property.

    You will probably find the colour you need in the theme or standard colours palette. It's the ellipses rather than the combo list.
    Are these 2 reports in different db's and one of them is based on a different theme?
