I have a report with 2 columns in the detail sections.  I have multiple detail sections with sub reports in them and the detail sections can be suppressed. I want to draw a line between the columns that go all the way down the detail sections.  It should look like this:

Section 1 Record 1   |   Section 1 Record 2
Section 2 Record 1   |   Section 2 Record 2
Section 3 Record 1   |  
_________________________________
Section 4 Record 1   |   Section 4 Record 2

* In this example Section 3 of record 2 is suppressed

I can get the sections to come out perfectly and line up how I want but I can't get the lines to show in any "nice" way.  If i put a line from the group header to footer I get this:

Section 1 Record 1   |   Section 1 Record 2 |
Section 2 Record 1   |   Section 2 Record 2 |
Section 3 Record 1   |  
_________________________________
Section 4 Record 1   |   Section 4 Record 2 |

*This wouldn't be so bad if the line didn't break on the Suppressed section for record 2.


Please supply any idea's you think may be helpful.

Make sure when you create the line you start in the group header and end in the same group footer. ie. Don't start in group header 1 and end in group header 2.

Do you want to color the columns or the horizontal lines?I can give you some formulas that will color either every other line or every 2 lines like a green bar.
