[AccessD] Exact reports are such a pita

I think I would just build a string, using the values if I have them,
underscores if I don't.

If you're using Access 2002+, you can use the OpenArgs parameter when you
open the report, if that would work out.

Subject: [AccessD] Exact reports are such a pita

I need to build a report that looks as close as possible to a state form.
This includes a couple of subforms which look like:

1) From:_____________ To:___________
2) From:_____________ To:___________
3) From:_____________ To:___________

And if I don't have a line 2 or line 3 I still need to fake it, put in the
number and underline.

IOW it should be indistinguishable from a copy of their form casually
compared side by side.

Can you say PITA.

The only thing I can think of is to build a temp table, place the 1) 2) and
3) in three records
(programmatically) and then fill in each record as needed.

That seems rather over the top.  Any suggestions for easy ways to fake this?
