I think I've found the answer, Page Style. If I make the page style band the height of the page, I can place those vertical lines so they print properly, but do not interfere with my layout on the the rest of the report. It looks like the lines print behind everything, they will not print over shapes, but that actually turns out to be just what I want. Since my page header has a full-width shape at the bottom and the page footer has a full width/height shape the vertical placement of these line is not crtical as they will not print over those shapes

It only works if the details fill the page. If they don't, the lines stop with the last detail. The last page of the report will have lines down only part of the page.

I’m going to have to go with a fixed length line, which I will add after the entire report is designed so I don’t have to fiddle with it more than once. >> The area between the bottom of the page header and the top of the page footer will consist of all the bands between the header and footer. If you place your line(s) in there (not in the header and footer) and set them all to parent height, you'll get the effect that you want -- if if the intermediate bands change height as the result of a stretch operation during the report generation. -- Larry
