Horizontal Line seperator

[Former Member]

In the details I need to add horizontal lines between each row. How can I, apart from drawing a line explicitly.

The purpose is to draw a table that fits the data perfectly.

Hi

If you don't want to insert line separately, you have two ways to achieve it:

1. Apply a template using template expert(report menu -> template expert).

2. Apply a cross tab.

Other than the above two, you have to insert a line individualy.

Hope this helps!!

Hi,

If you want to get data in tabular format best option is to go for charts.

Other thing you can try:

Open Section expert.

Select details.

Click on Insert.

Now in design mode click on insert line.

Create a line in detail b which covers whole report section.

Now preview.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

Sourashree..I will try your solution too..

Is there any such easy method also for vertical lines...

after vertical lines I will ask about easy way for tables other than charts:)

Can I change my report to charts now..i started with standard template.

Now I am having extra lines in the 2nd page..when I move the Detail B section up..then the first page has extra lines..oh its not working perfectly

I just want something simple like this..within a table..and the Column names are in the Page HEader and the rest of them in details.

FirstName LastName DOB

Mike J 1964-11-10

Lewis Hamilton 1981-09-08

Jenson Button 1979-02-02

Thats a simple str8 forward and mostly used format I guess..is it so difficult in crystal reports.

Can you use borders on the fields? (You may want to expand the field widths, and maybe play with data justification...)
