Topic: GRID DESIGN IN THE REPORT

Hello Kim and DriveSoft,

I need your help regarding to my problem which is I need to have a design with static grid as display in the report, then the record will appear only as a layer overlay. It maybe  1 record or more only to the display grid and if ever the record is more than the display grid it will goes to the next page but the same approach, the record will only display as an overlay of the design grid.

attached herewith the sample report.

Yes it is possible. In the report designer there is a property for frames. You can place frame borders around any of the objects within the report.

Nope.

My point view if it possible have background design grid with at least 15 lines then the records on the dataset is overlay

Re: GRID DESIGN IN THE REPORT

There is a report band called "Overlay" which I think will satisfy your requirement.

Attached is a project to demonstrate it. I used MVD's sample equipment inventory project. Click on the Report button on the first form.


Just a warning - Report designer will look strange with the overlay expanded to the size you need. You will need to play around with the various objects to fit around the overlay. I suggest that during design mode you increase the size of the paper height of the report to 35 or higher so you will be ale to see objects such as page footer. When you have everything placed properly, then change the paper height back to normal. It's a little weird working with the overlay object, but it' can do what you want. I used a combination of rectangle boxes and line objects to form the grid.
