[AccessD] Report line drawing VERTICAL SOLVED

That vertical problem was solved when I switched from using controls in
another section to align the lines and used the controls in the detail
section.  I keep getting mixed up between how I used to do it in VB.net and
how I used to do it even longer ago in Access!!  I knew the code should be
drawing but I was tired from fighting a weeks worth of have the objects I
was working on corrupt as soon as I dropped a label onto them.  It appears
there's a problem somewhere in the legacy objects because when I finally
created a new database and very carefully imported only the objects I
needed to work on I went a whole day without any corruption. Trying to
design a report to a schedule is tough when  just touching something
triggers corruption.

Now I can't figure out why the vertical lines draw as they should but I
can't get a horizontal line to draw.  It has to be something in the height
because I can draw a box around the section, for instance, but can't get
the line to draw.  I thought it might be because of the bottom location
because the section grows to accommodate one of the textboxes.  Any ideas
on that?  I don't get errors, I just can't see a line.  That's tomorrow's
effort.

It sucks having to drag this all out of ancient memory because I can't find
any of my old databases!  On the other hand, I'm remembering tricks I could
do in VB.net that I can't do in Access, which is no help at all.  Page
breaks in subforms is next so stay tuned ....
