Gridlines in a report

[ruthcali]

i am using Access97 in a Novell environment.<br><br>how can i put gridlines in my report that will show up both on the screen and also on the printer? what i am looking for is similar to Excel (file/page setup/sheet tab/print gridlines). i don't mean the gridlines that help you align text boxes. i mean the gridlines that let you read across a report with many entries without having to use a ruler.<br><br>i can't believe Access doesn't have this function. i have been searching, but i can't find anything. <br><br>to get around this, i have been adding lines to my reports manually in design view. so i click on a line, then draw it in between my fields on my report. i end up drawing many lines and then i have to align them. it is time consuming and not the best method. because i set the fields to 'can grow'. so the fields can grow, but the lines don't grow.&nbsp;&nbsp;so i have to figure out how to make the lines grow when the fields in the report grows, or how to show gridlines.<br><br>any suggestions?<br>thanks

try setting the box around your text field to not be transparent and to be a line underneath the textfield and that way it will grow with the textfield<br> <p>Walt III<br><a href=mailto:SAElukewl@netscape.net>SAElukewl@netscape.net</a><br><a href=
