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
any help would be appreciatedThis message has been edited. Last edited by: <Mabel>,

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 ) (I drew it in Windows Paint, it wasn't as hard as it sounds ). 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,$
