I have a row in my report that has 6 columns. I want to outline the row with a border, but not the column lines in between. So, I went into BorderColor, changed the Default to white and my Top and Bottom colors as Black. The problem is that where the "white" column lines are, they are displaying 1pt gaps in my outline. I tried changing the BorderStyle to Zero, but it wouldn't take it.
See sample below.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
James

Set the BorderStyle to None for the borders you want invisible. I have a report where I have vertical borders and no horizontal borders and they appear without gaps.

I have often found it difficult to sort out border once they're not what I want, and the easiest way seems to be to remove them all and start again.

Thanks Piers...

I followed your suggestions and I got this to work.

This is what I had to do to get a top and bottom border without the gaps.

BorderColor

Default = White
Left = White
Right = White
Top = Black
Bottom = Black

BorderStyle

Default = None
Left = None
Right = None
Top = Solid
Bottom = Solid

I'm glad you got it fixed it seems strange you had to set the border colour to white as this shouldn't matter. In the past I have resorted to setting the borders one or two cells at a time using tools on the toolbar rather than setting the properties directly.
