I just started using Rpt Designer 2.5
the past few weeks with no training and have several questions.

please keep answers as simple as possible as my experience is limited.

1.) I created a Repeating Frame, with fields with in the frame. On the report, I want to remove the
     border around both the Frame and fields. I tried the following

  srw.attr.mask         :=  srw.borderwidth_attr;
  srw.attr.borderwidth  :=  0;
  srw.set_attr(0, srw.attr);

      In the format trigger for the field, but it did nothing.   Ideas ?

2.)  How do I create a field on the report that has nothing to do with any table field, and how
      do I manipulate its value in a trigger ?

3.)  In my query for the report, I am retrieving a table field called  full_name and it goes into
      a report field called name. In some circumstances I want to change the value that shows up
      in the name field on the report. In the format trigger I tried :

   :name       :=  'Test';
   :FULL_NAME  :=  'Test Name Change';
 
       The :NAME , gets a "Bind variable NAME undefined" message.
 
      The :FULL_NAME, gets a "Read Only bind variable used in OUT or IN-OUT Context" message.

4.) Any one know of a good technical book that has a Report Designer 2.5 section ?
