I am unable to create either dotted or dashed lines in the report PDF file
when the report previews shows them correctly and they print correctly from
the preview (but not from the PDF). What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

You are not doing anything wrong. This is a bug that was brought to my
attention by another developer late last week. It all relates back to the
fact that Access does not render lines drawn with the Line tool in the
standard GDI fashion. They are actually encoded as comments within the
Metafile.

I'm looking into the issue now.

I was able to resolve the issue tonight. I had been using CreatePen where
ExtCreatePen is required. THe only issue is that this functionality is not
suported on WIndows 98 or Me. I will have to code around these versions.
I'll try to get the update posted tomorrow.

Stephan,

Where might I find the update that fixes the horizontal line problem you
fixed, per your message of 6/29 (below)?

Thank you.
