Hello!
I work with Report (Forms 4.5 - R25des.exe) on WinXp. And lines (table header) not printed, but I can see they on preview screen (data printed ok). Lines color is black. Lines width is 0 pt. Report style is tabular.
When I changed lines width to 1 pt, "bold" lines printed only on first page. On others page they looks like 0 pt width (although they width is 1pt) Can you help me.
Thank you very much and sorry for poor english.

Well, if line width = 0, how can you expect to see it?

Now that you've given it proper width, it appears only on the first page. As I don't have your Reports Builder version, could you, please, check whether there's something like "Print Object On" property which can be set to (Developer Suite 10g):
- All pages
- All but first page
- All but last page
- First page
- Last page
- Default

If there is something like that in your version, see if this line's property is set to "First page" and try to change it to "All pages".

Thank you.
1 - Some reports (in system) has lines width 0 pt and thats lines are printable and visible on paper. When width changed to 1 pt lines became bold. Thats not very good is this case. (needs thin, but visible lines)
2 - Tomorrow I shall look once again at lines properties (all pages, first pages....etc ). But its very strange, thats lines are visible on ALL pages (bold on first and thin on others). It would be more logical if first page has a bold lines (this happens), but on other pages a line would be invisible.

Hello!
Its a kind of magic ((((.
I did some work
1 build report via Data Model Editor Tools->Default Layout (Tabular report).
2 Then I have erased all the generated lines (in the header of report) and drawn own lines (in header and body).
3 After that my lines became bad ("not") printable (the problem took place)
4 But if I have left (have not removed) even one line (2) or copied generated line from auto generated report (1) into my problem report - all lines printed OK . Report began work as I wanted.
5 The properties of auto generated and drawn lines are identical
6 Is it a magic? (((
