I can't set new vertical guidelines or move existing ones in the studio of DR 8.0
The horizontal ones are working ok.

Michael,
Thanks for reporting this to us.
I myself hardly ever use guidelines but it needs to work.

Hi Vincent -
Now you've got me curious - how do you keep columns aligned without them?

Time for an oldie but goodie:
"If it ain't broke, you're not trying." - Red Green
on crystal you had an option to make the objects to “attach” to the grid, and you could set the grid precision to some value like 5 mm for example.
So the objects could only be placed in positions proportional to that, 5, 10, 15, 20, etc ... but never between them, like 12mm.
I bet DR has the same feature.

Thanks Vincent, I use them a lot.
Is there a topic in the help concerning guidelines?
I couldn't find one.
New users should know about them.
PS: I just tried it again and now it works... curious

Samuel,
You are right, snap to grid is present in DataFlex Reports.

Garret,
I simply select all objects that need to be aligned and choose align (top, left, right etc)
I use the arrange objects view for setting distance to objects to 1pt (usually)

Thanks. Never had much luck with that method - but that's why there are different ways of doing things

Michael,
I was able to reproduce it. Now find the solution.
