Some times one needs to have a lot of patient in learning a new tool, yet without helps from others, well maybe I am just dumb.

Two things. I have a textbox,on the body of my report. I want the text to show color other than black. I have looked all over the property window.

I want to add a line in between every repeating data rows on my detail. I have been flipping around with the line control for more than 30 minutes, and just could not make it showed up the right way. It does not work with the table control. I understand body doesn’t repeat, and that is why I tried to stick my line into the table.

What is wrong?

Thanks!

The properties on the report builder are goofy to say the least. There are two property windows. One for the selected control and other one with selected info. You want the first. Click in the textbox and hit F4. This will display a list of the properties including the color.

Don't know about the line at the moment.

The secret to the line is to set the bottom border of each text box. Gotta be a better way to do this for all the text boxes.
