I have a report containing 7 subreports that I want to lay one next to another. When I put borders around the subreports, the height of the subreports are not the same and I get boxed subreports that are not perfectly aligned. Is there a way to automatically adjust the heights of the subreports to the subreport with the greatest height so my lines will line up properly? Thank you.
 
Try this<br>Turm off all borders or lines on each subreport so when you preview it there are no lines showing up<br>then in design view put lines or Rectangle (boxes) around each subreport<br>So the lines are actually on the main report.<br><br>A Rectangle (box) will need it's &quot;Back Style&quot; property set to transparent.<br><br>OK <p>DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Ask me how Bar-codes can help you be more productive.
 
That's a nice try. However, the height of all my subreports are variable depending on the amount of content. I tried what you suggested. The rectangle boxes have fixed sizes, so the boxed area is overlapping the contents in my subreports. Thanks for the try though.
