Putting a rectangle around elements of report

2005-05-26 15:04

I placed a rectangle around a couple of elements (a static text box,a couple of dynamic text boxes and two subreports). The subreports can grow. The problem is the rectangle cuts into the subreport data - it does not seem to grow with it. I tried setting the Stretch Type to all of it's settings, but none of them made any difference.

 

The code is below:

can you draw the rectangles inside subreports?

The rectangle covers not just the subreport but other elements such as text and static text.
