Hi all,

I've created a bmp file by Microsoft's Paint and use it as a watermark. I put this pic in the page header and underlay the following sections, it works fine except lines and text boxes' borders are COVERED by this picture. It is supposed that every underlaid sections are printed on the top of the underlaying section. How can it happen?

Thank you very much!

As per my understanding, 'Underlay following Sections' means underlaying the objects in the following sections of the Same type.

for example if you put a watermark in Page Header a and Field Headings in Page Header b. When one sets this property for Page Header a, the watermark will appear for page Header b and Not for Details Section, Page Footer,Report Footer.

I think you should put your text boxes ,lines etc in Page Header b. Have Page Header a with only watermark and dont add any other objects in this section.

Please refer the account statement.rpt that comes with default installation. Hope this helps.

Hi Ashwin,

I put the watermarker in the page header section and make this section roughly the same size as a page size( around 24 cm height). I set the Underlay property to this header section. the watermarker appears in the detail section. It can go beyond.

Thank you very much

Did you check whether on the second page the details section has the watermark? is your problem solved?

the "Underlay" works fine except it unexpectedly erase a textbox's border or object line within the watermark image's borders.
