how to add borders to a subreport?

[dprogrammer]

Hi, I have 6 subreports in my group footer#1. The order is as follows:

SubA     SubB

SubC   SubD

SubE   SubF

I want all of them to have an individual border. I don't find any property in the subreport that allows a border. I tried putting a rectangle on each subreport but its not growing with subreports. May be I am not doing it right. Could you guys share your knowledge please?

I normally use frames for this. You can create 6 frames and then paste your subreports into each of then individually. Then apply borders to the frames.

Thanks for your reply. I have added frames but they also don't expand with the subreports. You mentioned I have to "paste" my subreports. I did try that but nothing happens.  I then just dragged and dropped my subreports on each frame. Will appreciate if you can give more details about using frames. Thanks.

I am sorry I totally skipped the "not growing" part from you previous post. Actually, I haven't tried this but its worth a try.

Right click on the Frame > Properties > Common > Stretch Type > RelativeToTallestObject

If the sub report exceeds 1 page, the botton border is missing during the page break. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
