Lines down the page

Hello and thanks for the help.

In the VFP 7 report writer how do you do the following...

Suppose you are doing an invoice or other form with line items and you want
line running down the page...

How do you get the lines to go all the way down the page? If you put them in
the detail line they only appear with the detail lines. How do you get them
to go all the way down to the page footer. Do you have to do something like
include blank records in the table you are reporting on?

Thanks again,

Jeff

Define the lines a little longer than would fit into the detail band. Let the
end of the line be in the top of the footer band.
If this trick does not work correctly, then make the lines yet longer and let
them start in the header band and end in the footer band.

Instead of placing the lines in the detail band, do this: Start them just
near the bottom of the Page Footer band .. and stretch them all way through
the detail band and end them just into the top of the page footer band. By
having them start in the page header and end in the page footer, the report
writer will stretch them as you want.
