Iunderstand that I may need a vertical line. However, if I place a vertical 
lineto the left of the column?s data, I?ll get this:

|COLUMN1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3 | COLUMN 4
|COLUMN1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3 | COLUMN 4
|COLUMN1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3 | COLUMN 4

IfI place it to the right side, I?ll get this:

COLUMN1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3 | COLUMN 4|
COLUMN1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3 | COLUMN 4|
COLUMN1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3 | COLUMN 4|

Butwhat the client wants is this:

COLUMN1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3 | COLUMN 4
COLUMN1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3 | COLUMN 4
COLUMN1 | COLUMN 2 | COLUMN 3 | COLUMN 4

I.e.,no lines on the edges, just BETWEEN the columns, so somehow a condition 
isneeded to tell R:Base not to print the line for column on the edge of 
thepaper.

Ideas?

You don't do this with properties, but rather using the line component on the 
left-hand side of palette. There is one component (that appears as a horizontal 
line) to use for "straight" lines (whether vertical or horizontal) and another 
to use for diagonal lines.


Drop the straight line component on the form. Choose a "type" from the drop 
down (top, bottom. left, right). For a vertical line, choose left or right. 
Position your line where you want it. In stretchable bands, or bands in which 
you want the line to go from the very top to the very bottom of the band, right 
click on the band and choose Parent Height. If the line must appear in several 
different bands (header, detail, footer), use a separate line component in each 
band and use the alignment tools to make them all line up exactly.
