Surrounding a subreport with a border?

[incirlikhodja]

I have a detail band with a subreport in it.  I need to surround it with a border, however when I right-click the subreport object on the main report, there is no option in the pop-up for "borders and padding".  I have also looked for a border option in the properties of the subreport.

This subreport will grow and shrink.  So I need for the border surrounding the subreport to grow and shrink with the subreport.

How do I accomplish this?

You can do one thing. Enclose the subreport in a rectangle and since your subreport grows or shrinks set the property "Stretch Type" of the rectangle to "Relative to Tallest Object."

That worked!  Thank you VERY much!!

There was one more item I had to do.  I had to set the object to grow with overflow as well because some subreports had to expand over several pages.

It would be nice if in a future release they would allow subreports to have borders and padding like other objects.  It would make it much easier.  Anyway, Thanks again!  GREATLY appreciated!

Bottom border is missing when the subreport expands over many pages. Can anyone suggest for a solution?

I've used a rectangle that surround the subreport with these settings:

• Position type: float
• Stretch type: Relative to tallest Object
• Checked the flag Print Repeted Values
• Checked Detail Overflow

And it works.
