Ah well Where is there a master list of all the report properties? I bet that will point me in the right direction.

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
