[SOLVED] Inconsistent borders on column headings

Please see following code. I have created a report with standard headings that should have light blue borders around the column headings. On page 1 there are no lower borders at all. Then on pages 2 - 6 the only lower border is on the REGION heading but skips a line before displaying it. How can I have the borders on all column headings and without skipping lines?

Mark, please post your code between the code tags (see last icon on the ribbon bar) because we didn't get all of your code especially the styling.

The multiple entries in the style-sheet for TITLE is causing the problem.

1) INCLUDE = PROBLUE, is new to me and I don't know if it's a good idea. This uses the PROBLUE style-sheet found somewhere in the App Path, then any other style declarations override the styling that's in the included style-sheet. I have found that it is very easy with the Dev Studio GUI to generate what I believe to be a mess - an included style-sheet AND all the styling also copied into the fex.

2) The best way to debug this problem is to start by commenting all the styling, then add pieces at a time. I did this and found that 
TYPE=TITLE,
     COLUMN=N1,
     FONT='TIMES NEW ROMAN',
     SIZE=8,
     STYLE=NORMAL,
$
clobbers the bottom border 
TYPE=TITLE,
     BORDER-TOP=LIGHT,
     BORDER-BOTTOM=LIGHT,
     BORDER-LEFT=LIGHT,
     BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT,
     BORDER-TOP-STYLE=RIDGE,
     BORDER-BOTTOM-STYLE=RIDGE,
     BORDER-LEFT-STYLE=RIDGE,
     BORDER-RIGHT-STYLE=RIDGE,
     BORDER-TOP-COLOR=RGB(51 51 153),
     BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR=RGB(51 51 153),
     BORDER-LEFT-COLOR=RGB(51 51 153),
     BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR=RGB(51 51 153),
$

The TITLE styling should probably be:
TYPE=TITLE,
     BORDER-LIGHT,
     BORDER-STYLE=RIDGE,
     BORDER-COLOR=RGB(51 51 153),
     FONT='TIMES NEW ROMAN',
     SIZE=8,
     STYLE=NORMAL,
$

Thank you!! I did what you suggested and it worked beautifully. Now I'll try this on my production reports and will (hopefully) get the same results.
Thanks for your insight.
