Andy,

I am going to assume you are getting one line on the print preview of your invoice. To fix this select the label that is printing as one line and on the Property Grid (Bottom right of screen by default) look for Multiline and change it to Yes.

To insert a section in a report right-click anywhere in the Report and select Insert Band. There are different kinds of bands that can be used but in your case I would most likely insert a group footer and set it to print at bottom. You can change the order of the band by selecting an existing band and clicking the > and then clicking Edit and Reorder Bands (You can also add bands from this screen)

-Michael

Also, in Report Designer, I created a copy of SimpleInvoice to work with, how do I add a section right underneath Detail1 where I can add this Notes text field?

I created a text field within the Invoice screen that has 5 input lines. How do I format the text field so that when I hit enter, it will start a new line? For example, right now when I type this into the field:

Testing line one
Testing line two

I get this:

Testing line oneTesting line two

Thanks,

Andy
