[AccessD] Exact reports are such a pita

Actually, one approach I have taken in this kind of scenario is to scan
the original form, make it an image.  Then just create a report with the
image in the background, and size your controls inside the 'images'
borders.

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?
