Formatting/adding a continuous border around a vb6 datareport - vb6

I am designing a report in vb6 using datareport. But i am having an issue with formatting.
I have drawn line in Detail section(section 1) and there is Page footer below that. But when I execute the Report the Line is not completely connected to Pagefooter.
This is my Report format..

VB6 RTF to Word 2010

I have a VB6 application which has RTF field that eventually gets copied and pasted to Word 2010 document.
Texts and pictures get pasted all nicely except when a chart element is pasted, it has axis labels hidden by default.
So I basically have to click individual chart and "show" axis labels.
Is there any way to make it visible by default?
Thanks!
You might need to expand on your question a bit for more specific details but it is possible using OLE Automation to manipulate the objects in your Word document from VB6. Here's a better sample than I could give you from memory: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237337

SSRS Lable Printing

I have a SSRS RDL that is formated to fit on a three column lable sheet. When exported to PDF the 2nd column is not populated and on the next page the 2nd column is the only column populated. This continues to happen for as much data as I have. Has anyone had any problems with this or might have an idea on where the problem might be?
These kinds of quirks are usually related to the margins. Make sure that the actual label area does not exceed the page size, accounting for the margins. Also, printer drivers can cause a similar issue because of content-to-page-size issues, where the report shows correct on-screen but when printing, shifts content to a new page.
This is because of page setup properties. For example if a page is set to letter size(8.5in X 11in) and left and right margins to 1 inch. then you have adjust you report body size to 6.5 inch or below, if it exceeds above 6.5 inch, then leads to split data to other pages when exported to PDF.

SSRS 2005 How to Print 4" X 3" label as Portrait.. SSRS assumes Landscape

I have a SSRS 2005 report form that is printing to a Zebra ZDesigner TLP 2844-Z label printer. The Interactive and Page sizes are set to 4" wide by 3" high. Since there is no paper orientation in SSRS, it is assuming this to be a landscape report when it should be a portrait thereby printing the labels sideways.
The users are able to export to a PDF and print after adjusting the print settings, but the extra clicks to produce/print the pdf's are unacceptable.
Is there a way to force the print job to print portrait or another workaround/trick to do this?
Can you just set your Page width to be 3" and your height to 4" ? (Not your Interactive Size, your Page Size)
How are you designing the report? There should be a property to modify for paper orientation in the report's properties...
From MSDN
So what defines a portrait vs. landscape report? If the PageHeight is less than the PageWidth, then it is landscape, otherwise it is portrait. It is important to understand that Reporting Services has no notion of the rotation of the paper in the printer. It is up to the applications that consume the output (Acrobat reader, print control) to determine the correct printer settings to best render the specified page size.
Note that the DeviceInfo settings can be used at report rendering time to override the page sizes in the definition. This is how the client print control works when you change margins or page size. In SP2 and SQL 2005 Reporting Services, the default page sizes are extracted from the definition at publish time and written to the ReportServer database as custom properties on the report. While you can programmatically change these via the SetProperties method on the web service, they will be overwritten if the report is republished (unlike parameter and datasource information).
I have a similar printer with a similar problem. Change the report orientation to portrait (the numbers will be backward). Then when you run the report click page setup. Change the size from "USER" to either "custom" or "template" (depending upon your printer). You should then be able to use your printer properties to change the size of the labels.
To prevent the SSRS WinForms ReportViewer from rotating your printed labels, use a square page. If the length and width are the same, ReportViewer will not rotate. I found that when I expanded the page size for my 2.5" x 1" label to 2.5" x 2.5", the print was oriented correctly on the stock and there was no waste. Perhaps Zebra's driver clips the blank area.
I also tried designing a rotated label using Text Box's WritingMode = Rotate270. That didn't help.

Static image in Crystal Report displays line on edge (not a border)

This is probably a long shot, but I have vague sense I ran across this many years ago so I'm hoping someone can help.
I have a static image in a Crystal Report page header that acts as a letter head. Everything looks fine in the designer, but at run-time the image displays a black line along the bottom of the image. Kind of like a border, but the line is only about a third of the width of the image and aligned to the right.
Borders for the image are set to none. I also set the image border color and background color to white. The original image was slightly large, so I resized it in Photoshop to fit the page width, thinking maybe the line was an artifact of Crystal resizing it. No joy. The image is a Jpeg but I've also tried PNG and bitmap.
The other compounding problem is I can't test the report directly on my development machine due to database connectivity issues, so the only way to test is to copy the report file to the user's machine and run it there. Additionally, the user doesn't have Crystal itself but a viewer application my predecessor wrote many years ago. So I wonder if the problem is the user's machine or settings.
You may check to make sure that the image's drop-shadow formatting option isn't set. It's on the border tab if you go to the picture's properties. This is a long-shot, but I decided to throw it out there anyhow. Hope it helps.
The problem was fixed by upgrading the user's Crystal Reports viewer application. I'm not sure what version of Crystal it was built with, but I'm doing report design in XI. I created a new viewer application and the problem cleared up.
