Want to get rid of border on list when print report

18
I have constructed a report which show lists (from tables). When I print the report, each list has a box border with top and left sides a thin black line and the right and bottom sides a thin gray line.

In design view, I have set border style to transparent and border width to hairline.

When I look at the report on the screen, these lines are not visible, but when I print, there they are. How can I get rid of them?

Thanks.

This shouldn't be happening. Setting the borders to Transparent means they shouldn't be showing.

Try recreating a test form of this report and see if it's still happening. There is a possibility that the report is corrupt.

Thanks for the response. I have now creating a test report from scratch, first using the wizard then using just design view. The lines still show up on the printed report even though transparent is set. I am running Access 2003. Any other ideas?

I'm afraid not Janice. I haven't spent much time developing in 2003. The only thing I can think of is that there is some kind of default setting overriding your control changes. You could check under tools-options and see if there is something there.

Try setting the control's Special Effect to Flat.
