This should be easy to do. Create a summary column in the parent group (in the data model) with a source from the detail group, and a reset at at the parent group. Now in the layout editor, draw your line under the repeating frame for the detail record, edit its format trigger to return TRUE if the summary column MOD 3 is 0, and FALSE otherwise. Hope this helps..
