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 ....
