In Access 2003 I have a multi-column report (3 columns).
I would like to get 1 continuous vertical line from the top of the page to the bottom of the page, between columns 1 and 2 and between columns 2 and 3.
Is there anyway to create this line?
If so, is there any way to print this line only if there would data in the column to the right of the line?

The code to dynamically draw Lines in a Report must be placed in the Print() Event of the Report's Detail Section. The following code will draw a Vertical Red Line, 25 Pixels wide, exactly 1000 Pixels from the Left Margin of the Report, spanning the entire Vertical Length of the Report. - Private Sub Detail_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
-
Dim lngColor As Long
-
-
Me.ScaleMode = 3 'Pixels
-
Me.DrawWidth = 25 'in Pixels
-
-
lngColor = RGB(255, 0, 0) 'Red
-
-
Me.Line (1000, 0)-(1000, Me.ScaleHeight), lngColor
-
End Sub
Thank you! I can now get the lines. I am, however, having a slight problem. I'm getting a slight break in the lines on the report between detail lines and also between groups, so it's not an absolutely solid line.
My report would be:
Allen, Michael
100 Main St.
Anyplace, US
..Allen car1
..Allen car2
Axelrod, Timothy
200 Elm St
Sunrise, US
.. Axelrod car1
.. Axelrod car2
The personal information is in a group header and the cars are in the detail section.
I'm getting slight breaks in the line between Allen car 1 and Allen car 2, between Alexrod car 1 and Axelrod car2, and between Allen Car 2 and Alexrod, Timothy.
Am I doing something wrong, or is there any way to fix this?
Also, the data in the columns are not always the same length because people have different number of cars. The line is only extending down as far as the last detail line, and I understand why, but is there any solution for that?
Thank you.

Thank you.
I would actually have to physically look at the Report and its layout, in order to even venture a guess as to what is causing this.
Thanks. I can't send the report due to the data. I could send the code. I tried this on all my other reports which I am making snaking columns which I could send, and unfortunately (or fortunately) it is working with them. So it definitely helped me on the others. I'll have to keep plugging away on this one. Thank you.
Changing ScaleHeight to Height seemed to solve the problem for me.
I was getting gaps because some fields had CanGrow = true

Help,
In Access 2000, I have a bound column - textbox. As soon as I type
three dots (periods) in the textbox and keep typing (more dots or
anything else), it automatically converts the three dots to a bolded
vertical line. How could I turn that vertical line off?
Thanks in advance,
