Hi Frank

So what are you saying? It works now, by how you've described it? I was wondering if this is a box that needs to go around an indeterminate depth of text (i.e. you don't know how many lines). What I do in such cases is put a horizontal line across the top of my text, in the header part, and join vert. lines to its two ends. These I then stretch down to the bottom of the detail line. So with each new detail line the vert. lines extend down. As for the bottom line of the "box", it can be at the top of the next group header, or in the footer.

I have created two detail bands and their associated headers and footers, dropped a box on the report and stretched it from the detail1 header to the detail1 footer. I cannot set its stretch attributes because they are disabled. If you do this using the group header and footer you likewise do not have access to thestretch property, but the box automatically stretches for you.
