[AccessD] Access 2007 question

Are you trying to make boxes/borders around the fields, so all of the
boxes in a given row are the same height?

Much like an Excel spread sheet that has word wrap turned on for a given field.

If so, take all of your borders off of the cells in question. tag
all of the cells in the row  with something such as "grid" then place the
following code in the report detail's OnFormat event:

Dim ctl As Control
  Me.ScaleMode = 5
  For Each ctl In Me.Controls
    If ctl.Tag = "grid" Then
        Me.Line ((ctl.Left / 1440), 0)-((ctl.Left / 1440), 10)
        Me.Line (((ctl.Left + ctl.Width) / 1440), 0)-(((ctl.Left +
ctl.Width) / 1440), 10)
    End If
  Next ctl

You will have to make a horizontal line above and below the row as well.
