A ^Line^ as a Calculated Field ??

[Mel_Smith_(Guest)]

Dear Friends,____ My enviro: RRW 9.0____ I want to create a calculated field of an ^image^ of an ^underline^ field on the report.____ I know this is confusing but I have one (of several) totalling lines on my report with a ^line^ that serves as an underline over a total. Sometimes I wish the total to show, othertimes not. When it does *not* display, I want the ^underline^ above it to disappear too.____ Currently, this ^underline^ field always shows when it should not.____ That is, at times, I wish to print simple ^blanks^ instead of the underline.____ Soooo, can I create a calculated field which can contain a series of blanks *or* my ^underline^ ??____TIA,____-Mel Smith____

Try this____c_line = IIF( printing_total, "-------", " " )____where printing_total is .t. when the total should print and .f. when a total is not required______Gift

You can place the line on a free form field whose height is set to the height of the drawn line and then set a logical condition on the band line if that helps.____Kathleen__R&R Support

I^m puzzled.____TIA,____-Mel Smith

Place the graphical line on a report line where you want it. Click on the "Auto/Freeform Line" button. You can then adjust the height of the line as you wish using the margin controls that you will see appear.____Apply the logical line printing condition (as someone else suggested above) to that report line and you should be fine.
