Memo-Fields and Borders

[Fred Mundel]

hello,

i have a table with 6 memo-fields. each memo-field is one column of a
report. Each memo-field can contain text that is longer than one page in
the report.

i want a border around every column and it always should end at the
bottom of each page, even if the text in the memo-field ends in the
middle of the page.

Problem: the fields with the memo-content have to have the attribute
'grow=yes' because the memo-text can be longer than one page. a border
around the fields makes the border end, when the memo-text ends (normaly
in the middle of a page). but i want a constant border on each page
around every column from the start to the end of the page...

i thought if i set shrink=no to the text-field with the memo-content and
set the height to the full length of the column it will work, but if the
text 'grows' over the page, the length of the column on the next page
will end when the text ends and not at the end of the page.

any ideas?

Because you want to draw to the bottom of the page, you can
not use a section related property or event.

Use the Line method in the Page event to draw whatever you
want anywhere on the page.

then general idea would be something like:

Me.Line (Me.textbox.Left,0) - Step(0,11*1440)
