[AccessD] Vertical line in detail section

[Rocky Smolin]

Tried that but the detail section is a sub Report. :) So no page event
triggered on the sub-report.  On the main report's page footer the line
doesn't butt up against the bottom of the vertical column separators.

On the bright side the client seems to have unlimited patience and budget
while I figure this out.  

But your post gives me an idea to try getting rid of the sub report and just
bringing the detail data into the main report. (Not sure why I made it a
sub-report in the first place.)

So...stay calm and code on!

     Hi Rocky,
     I use page-footer section, and put a line on top of if.
