<< Intriguing ideas ? but I need more details. Can you define with an example command what you mean by ?read the LEFT property of one of the fields?? And what IS the LEFT property, the margin? >>
Doesn't matter, cause it doesn't work (just tried it, it always returns the offset from the column margin). But this works: 1. Place a vertical line in on the left of each row, right click, choose Component ID and set it to lnLeft. 2. In the BEFORE GENERATE Action for the PAGE HEADER section put: SET VAR vColCount INT = 0 3. In the BEFORE GENERATE Action for the COLUMN HEADER put: SET VAR vColCount = (.vColCount + 1) IF vColCount = 1 THEN PROPERTY lnLeft VISIBLE 'FALSE' ELSE PROPERTY lnLeft VISIBLE 'TRUE' ENDIF Now, your report will always know which column it is in, and every column except the first will have the separator line on the left. -- Larry
