Force SmartForms to Always Print table lines

Former Member — Tue, 02 Aug 2005 16:33:38 GMT

In smartforms how do you print a tables lines completely every time?

Currently the box is printing, but the vertical lines within the box do not intersect with the bottom of the box. Instead, the vertical lines stop on the same row as that of the last printed line of table data.

I would like the vertical lines to print from the top of the box to the bottom.

Hi Jim,

I have not done it myself, but one of my friend once told me that he was facing this kind of problem and he had to create the table frame separately (duplicate windows) such that frame is printed everytime completely regrdless of how many lines you are printing.

Cheers,

Sanjeev

Hey Jim,

Create another window of same size as main window, Add a template with one or two ( in case you need header ) Lines. Create a line with columms( Yo can copy it from table CTRLY, CTRLC, CTRL+V ) and height equal to window height. Select Pattern with all horizontal and vertical lines. (2nd in top row.)

You are done.

Gagan.

I tried it and it works.

I was trying similar techniques without the results.

Thanks very much for your input.
