Hi folks,
 
I've created a report which is working but the user wants the ability to physically write extra row details if required.
 
The report needs to have a maxiumum of 7 rows, so if I pull through 4 records there are 3 blank rows if needed (etc,ect) . Each row is the same height so the form is the same every time - it's just the detail that changes.
 
I've tried to experiment with row numbers but the additional rows do not exist in the database so I'm not pulling any null values back to compare agasinst (or I'm talking rubbish...?).
 
I want the row/column oulines to show for each blank row to make it easy for the users to fill in.
 
Any ideas/techniques?

one way...

add a group level (you can hide the header)
insert 6 extra group footers each the height you need for your 'rows'
Conditionally suppress each group footer on a different recordnumber total

Cheers mate - Thanks for that.

I used the section expert with conditions on each group footer - works really well.
