How to position a line at the bottom of each field on a report
Hi there,
I want to have a line at the the bottom of each field in my report - there are a number of fields in my detail section that have the can grow/can shrink set. I basically want to position a line after each field so it makes the data look better. I have attached a example of how I want this to look.
I assume I have to calculate the position of the bottom of the text field and place the line just below there - but I have not got a clue how to do this.
Alternatively I would like to enclose the field in a box so each field has a box around the outside. Thanx in advance for any help with this.

In design view of the report:
Set the "Bordestyle" of each control to: Normal
Set the "Border Width" of each control to: 1 pt
Set the "Border Color" to whatever color you want

Thank you so much - I cannot believe I didn't realise the line would automatically adjust when placed just below the field lol
The point about placing the box round the field was a little more complex as it would have had to also go round the field title :)
Thanx again :)

Not really,
Just draw a line below the last control...
