Aha ... Good to know.
However, what is really desired is for the top of the box and the sides to print on page 1 and the sides to continue on page 2 and finally the bottom.
Not asking too much huh ?

Now that I think of it ... Printing the "box" using separate "lines" for the top and sides and bottom might make this new information you have provided me, make things work. I will give it a try .... thanks.




>>I have customer who would like me to put a "box" around each detail record in a report. This detail record consists of textboxes and editboxes.
>>I can get it to work very nicely with stretches and all if I put a single line as the divider between each detail band.

>>However, when I try to put a rectangle around it ... If the data spills over onto the next page, the rectangle prints on the second page completely and not on the first page at all.

>>I tried building the box with a combination of 4 lines and then the 2 vertical lines act just like a box ... they print only on the second page and not on the first page when the data spills over onto a second page.

>>Any ideas on how to deal with this ?
