First off I am not an expert but I think I have had the same problem and it drove me crazy for quite a while but was easy to solve. In my case I had a report with a subreport (containing a variable number of records) which I wanted to box. I have never used the Can Shrink property but I used the Can Grow property and put a border on the report. My problem was that I tried to set the Border Style property of the subreport to solid when I needed to be setting that property for the *box* containing the subreport. If you let Access name your objects then this will have a name such as Child135. You can highlight it by clicking on the border between the subreport and the report in Design mode. Good luck.
