    Grow a report section line issue

    I have a report with several groupings. The group section Header can grow property is set to true as well as several fields in each group section.



    I want to have a vertical line on both the left and right side of each group to make the report easier to read. I have searched for methods to do this, but cannot get any of them to work properly.

    The simplest method I have found involves setting the Group Header Section Special Effect to Sunken. This sort of works, but not on the right side of the section. I also don't like the horizontal lines this causes. I wish I could find some code that works that uses the Line method to create these vertical lines. Can anyone Help? Either with making the right side special effect to work, or with use of the line method to make it work.

    Yes, it doesn't work. I tried it in the group header section for the section below with the text "Preventative Maintenance Record Task Info." Note the line didn't grow like the other controls did. Perhaps it will only work in a detail section?

    But you did adapt it for your needs right, like putting the code in the GroupHeader Print event, not in the Detail_Print one?

    Yes, I put the code in my Groupheader Print event, which is named "TaskIDHeader ", and changed the code as illustrated below. I left the line name at "Line83". Doesn't work.

    Private Sub TaskIDHeader_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)

    Dim CtlDetail As Control
    Dim intLineMargin As Integer
    intLineMargin = 0

    For Each CtlDetail In Me.Section(acTaskIDHeader).Controls

    With CtlDetail

    If CtlDetail.Name = "line83" Then

    Me.Line ((.Left + .Width + intLineMargin), 0)-(.Left + .Width + intLineMargin, Me.Height)

    End If

    End With

    Next

    Set CtlDetail = Nothing

    End Sub

    And you are looking at the report in Print Preview or actually print it? The Print event does not fire in report view:

    I am looking at it in print preview. It also does not work when I actually print it to a printer.

    Try:
    Code:
    Private Sub TaskIDHeader_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
        Me.Line (0, 0)-(0, Me.Height)
        Me.Line (Me.Width, 0)-(Me.Width, Me.Height)
    End Sub
    BTW, what is acTaskIDHeader?

    Cheers,
    John

    Please have a look at the attached file. Make sure you place the code in the right section (usually GroupHeader0).
