Hi Susannah,
I know, Pietros answer is as helpful as ever ! But if you are on WF523/525 try out the new BORDER attribute in STYLESHEET. Best way is GRID=OFF and BORDER=option, where one option is OFF. You can control every report component with this and additionnally every side of a component (TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT). With this you have a much more powerful means as with GRID. You even can control thickness, style and color ! You just have to issue SET HTMLCSS to ON. Have a look in the manual.
I like this new feature a lot !

Oh Susannah,
You're right with this. I had my problems too. In fact it's sort of switching paradigm. With a report you got to work either with the old way (GRID etc.) or the new one (BORDER etc.).
Actually it took me a couple of days to change some of my reports, until they looked as I wanted them to be. But once done I guess I will stay the new way. And my users like the new looks that are possible now !
