Second column short

[tbihn]

The customer wants the report to have a grid with alternating shaded rows and lines and have it in two columns.

I can shade the rows and get the gridlines. If I have 75 records, the first column may have 50 records. Every other record has a crSilver background, I have grid lines (although the vertical lines go a little too far down) in the first column. In the second column, the grid lines going across and shading stop at the end of the data. Is there a way to add dummy rows and detect where the rows switch over to a new column?

How about selecting the sort option of "Across Then Down" ?
This may provide a simpler solution.

You could create the grid using multiple colored boxes spaced at intervals (the equivalent of every other line) in the page header, which you would stretch to page length. The boxes could be formatted to remove the borders. You would then format the page header to "underlay following sections".
