Could someone help me with the lines?

Im making a report, that needs lines like a chart. The lines have to go from the DetailData field to Pagefoter field.
But the lines don't go until the end of the page. it always has a little gap between the end of a line and the footer line.

Please could someone help me??

    if your vertical lines always start at a fixed point on the output page
    like a preprinted form
    use an overlay band for the vertical lines.

    zip and post it in the binaries newsgroup
    better yet would be to save the report as an .fp3 from the preview and include it

    Hello gordk

    Thank you for your help.

    Just one thing:

    While making my report with the help of your examples, I ve noticed that there are some faults.
    Without color the background white you would see the horizontal lines that are unbeautiful.

    I think the problem is that we don't have any property on an Overlay for reseting on the new page.
    An Overlay is showing everything on everypage.

    Do we have other method to avoid this?

    if you don't want to use the overlay
    use the frame lines of each memo in the detail band
    create a duplicate set of empty memos in an unattached childband.
    add a detail footer can be 0 height to write code in its obp event to show the child band.
    ie while engine.freespace > child1.height do
    begin
    engine.showband(child1);
    end;

    Hi,
    I just downloaded the demo version of Fast Report, I want to use it as the replacement
    for my current reporting tools, but I got a difficulties creating a vertical lines in the blank
    space between the last record and the page footer. The vertical lines will have a variable
    height depend on the height of the paper and record's qty.
    Can you help me showing any document or sample to get what I want?
    Thanks.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
