Formatting Vertical Details Lines in Crystal Reports

Question

I'm using Crystal Reports for VS 2008 and having trouble formatting vertical table lines in the details section.

Too Short

When I adjust the height of the line to exactly the height of the bottom of the section:

Then the line doesn't get applied to any items after the first in the list:

Too Long

If I drag it past the bottom of that section, then it runs amok and fills up the entire page

Looks like this:

Failed Attempts

I've tried a bunch of different section and line heights. I've tried right clicking the line, clicking format object, and checking 'Extend to bottom of Section when Printing'.

I've tried the SO questions here, here, here, and here, and none of them seem to help.

Answer 1

Ok, so I got it done by making an extra line and using a different line for the header and the details section. It makes it a little harder to maintain, but looks better.
