[AccessD] Vertical line in detail section

[Stuart McLachlan]

Don't use a Line control.  Use  Me.Line (X, 0)-(X, Y)  in the Detail_Print

Set Y to 22 inches or the equivalent number in cms, twips, pixels depending on how you 
Scale your report.  (i.e. maximum possible size).  The detail will NOT be expanded to the full 
line length - the line will be truncated to the length of the detail.
