Blank lines
Michelle Mix

How do you add blank lines in a report in access?  Sometimes I only have one line on my invoice and would like to fill the whole report with lines. I would also like color every other line.  Any help would be appreciated.

You must have a record for a report to print anything.  Even if you need to print a blank line, you still need a record (even a dummy record) in the report's recordsource for anything to print in the detail section.  Or you can manually draw lines on the page using the line controls in the report designer.  See picture below for an example.  I manually put vertical lines on the page.  They have a fixed length so they always show even when the page is blank.  They are not part of the detail section so they always print.

Thursday's video is going to be how to print one label on a full sheet of labels and to do that I add blank records to a report table you can use the same technique to add blank lines to whatever report you need. Stay tuned. It will publish on Thursday and of course you're a gold member so you'll be able to see it as soon as it's finished later tonight.
