Hi Yousfi,

The problem is not how to show a bullet, you can select any nice sign from Wingdings, so I selected Wingdings-q for the bullet. The problem is 'how to create a bullet list in a VFP report, where the options - or text parts of each individual bullets may span more than one row. Thus the next bullet will not allign with the next text part.
See picture attached.
A solution would be to create a detailband in which only one bullet, this is OK, however it would only work for one bullet list in one report, I need to have n-Lists in my report.
Since the business rule states maximum of 3 options per list, I created 4 Detailbands:
Band 1 the listheading
Band 2 till 4 the individual 'bullets'
Works fine, however impossible to secure the 4 detailbands donot span a page which makes the whole thing ugly and unusable.

For your info, this is a questionnaire with maximum 3 multiplechoice answers

Regards,
Koen
