completely baffled

[Mariano]

i have 2 layouts that are basically identically set up, however some of the fields are changed in the second one. the format stays the same, but some fields are specified differently.

Layout one:

i have an area where i enter transmittal data for architectual drawings, the data is on 10 repeating fields in each column. With or without data, if i print i see the lines in between the repeating fields and all of their borders.

Layout two:

same set up, same area, however the repeating fields arent the same exact fields. The formatting is identical. However, the lines in between repeating fields only print when there is data in each field.

when i goto preview i see the lines and borders, but they just dont print in the second layout.

The formats are identical!!!

Completely confused...anybody have any suggestions?

check yer field borders

yea, i checked those too.. They are exactly the same.

I have a (hopefully temporary) fix, I just use a solid text baseline on the layout that doesnt print the line in between repeating fields. It looks the same except for the last row of my data. There are borders being display, but only on the exterior of the whole group of repeating fields,so the baseline appears a little bit above the bottom border

its very strange, i have tried everything, short of deleting the layout and trying again.
