hi!

i am stock cards so in the box where a value goes in i
need a dash or 'blank' instead of a solid border where
people will handwrite stuff. i tried making the border to
transparent and then underline the text. but then the
parameters which dont have any value(since employees will
fill it) wont have underline beside it since there's no
text to be printed. is there a way i can change the border
setting of the boxes so that it looks like a 'blank' when
i print them. other than drawing lines for each of them.

thanks
 
If I understand you correctly, you would like to print data in a filed. If
the field is blank, you would like to instead print a line upon which your
employees can enter the data. I accomplished this with an unbound textbox
with an 'if' statement in it.

=IIf(IsNull([InstallDate]),"________",[InstallDate])

It the record has an 'install date' then that date is printed on the report.
If the 'install date' field is blank, then a line appears instead.

Hope that helps.

Rick
