Add one field object to the group footer that is only one line tall and marked as stretch with overflow. Make the expression something like this:
REPLICATE(REPLICATE('_', 30) + CHR(13),
)
This will print 30 underlines and then go to the next line. You can use a report variable or something to count how many detail lines there are and apply a factor for the lines.
