Re: Reports 2.5 Question!

In the Repeating Frame (of the record in question) create the line as a boilerplate object (dashed-line, gray, normal weight, whatever). Now write a field-level trigger for the object which fails (returns 'FALSE') if mod(:counter,3) <> 0. (I think I'd better test this before posting!). Yep, works fine. The counter could be rownum, returned from the base query.

This obviously puts a separator after every 3 rows returned from the database. To put separators at regular intervals across the page (like the old 'music-paper' stationery we used when I were a lad) - now that would be tricky!
