Aligning text in the Detail with lines drawn in the Header

Hi Everybody,

I'm experiencing a weird behavior in a Report and was wondering if
you've encountered it or know how to combat it. I just have 2 fields
in the Detail section, "ReportDate " and "Progress."

In the Page Header, I've recreated a form that, traditionally, has been
filled out by hand. The form contains 27 horizontal lines spaced
evenly apart.

I'm trying to set the Line Spacing of the Progress field so that the
text prints out perfectly above each line. Progress is a memo, so text
will wrap to different lines.

Here is what's happening: The text does not line up perfectly, but
it's not a product of the line spacing, because sometimes the text is
placed a little closer to the underlying line, and sometimes the text
is placed a little further above the line--the lines are perfectly
spaced.

A possible workaround would be to add a line only under the detail
record, so each record will have a line directly underneath. But, I
was wanting all the other lines (blank) to print as well.

Thanks,
Arnold

I'm sure this is pretty simple but I'm having a hard time with it. I have a report that has multiple columns and have to change some of the titles in the page header. As a result, the titles don't match up with the detail. I've used the all the formatting buttons such as align, size, etc. but it doesn't seem to work that well. I've also tried highlighting the page header and detail at the same time and formatting at the same time -...

I was wondering what anyone might suggest as "best practice" patterns for streaming out fixed formatted text files with C#? Let's say we get our data in a dataset table and we need to iterate over thousands..potentially tens of thousands of rows to create a properly formatted text file -- like an ACH file, for example. In there you typically have a header, a body block of detail rows and a trailer. (The trailers usually contain sums of the...

OK, I’m new to all this, so forgive me if I missed some easy answer to this problem! I have a report, which is actually going to be a letter.
