[AccessD] Report grids

If you like, I can snip out some Word-interaction code that illustrates how
to populate bookmarks within a Word document. It's very app-specific, of
course, but would illustrate how to open the Word document, set the
booksmarks with data retrieved from a query, &c.

Arthur,

>> why not do a Word-automation document with all
the tables in place formatted just so and bookmarks in them to splat the
data into the appropriate columns. I have done this and it's a little
tedious but not difficult. <<

I appreciate your reply. I was kind of expecting it, though. It isn't
something I've ever tried and the budget for the project I'm working on is
rapidly running out. One of the things I tried while puzzling this out was
to place a hairline between the rows of text boxes, hoping that that visual
separator would be enough. I showed the owner of the business two examples
of what I'd been diddling with and he liked the hairline separator better
than the non-growing border around the text boxes. This gives me a few less
headaches as far as getting the dimensions and placement of each border just
right.
