Hi,

You can insert blank lines in a report using a memo field. Allow the field to stretch, and put the desired number of chr(10)'s in the memo field's contents. I think this can even be an expression too (e.g. replicate( chr(10), myTable.spacing) ). If you use a small font pitch for the field, this can be very accurate.

Hope this helps...
