Hello, I want to ask you, could you help me to find solution how to use merged titles (one title for few columns).
I have found suggestion to use
heading instead of titles,
but I think would be better if
it's possible to format, merge titles.
Another problem is if
I use heading,
I don't know how to insert
borders which separate items
inside the header.
Yes I found out how to use
borders arround the
header but could you help me how to make borders inside the header work?..
  HEADING<br />"DDDD" 
"Col1<+0>Col2<+0>Col3"
"Col1<+0>Col2<+0>Col3"<br />
"Col1<+0>Col1 AND COl2" -* 
this is where I want to merge collumns
style:
<br />
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=5, ITEM=1, BORDER-RIGHT=HEAVY,$<br />
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=6, ITEM=1, BORDER-RIGHT=HEAVY,$
any
help would be appreciated

I too, have tried to do what you want to do, and opened a case with IBI on it. The resolution of the case was this:
You can not put borders around individual header elements.
(you can't merge titles either).
Since my report was in pdf format, I ended up using headings for the merged column titles, and having to place the borders on by means of a gif that was overlayed on the heading. (IBI's suggestion Frowner )
(I drew it in Windows Paint, it wasn't as hard as it sounds Smiler ).
I am on version 5.21

sure, easy and cool:
You use HEADALIGN=BODY
and then you tell each heading how many columns it is to cover,
TYPE=HEADING,HEADALIGN=BODY,$
TYPE=HEADING,LINE=1,ITEM=1,COLSPAN=2,
CLASS=NOBORDER, BACKCOLOR= WHITE ,$
TYPE=HEADING,LINE=1,ITEM=2, COLSPAN=2,STYLE=BOLD,JUSTIFY=CENTER,
BACKCOLOR=RGB(201 138 129), COLOR=WHITE,$
TYPE=HEADING,LINE=1,ITEM=3,COLSPAN=2,STYLE=BOLD, JUSTIFY=CENTER,
BACKCOLOR=RGB(201 138 129), COLOR=WHITE,$
TYPE=HEADING,LINE=1,ITEM=4, COLSPAN=3,STYLE=BOLD,JUSTIFY=CENTER,
BACKCOLOR=RGB(201 138 129), COLOR=WHITE,$
TYPE=HEADING,LINE=1,ITEM=5, COLSPAN=2,STYLE=BOLD,JUSTIFY=CENTER,
BACKCOLOR=RGB(201 138 129), COLOR=WHITE,$
