Dividing lines between questions in report

Hello
I'm using SQL Server Reporting Services 2000. I have a report with the
following details:-
Subtopic Question Answer Total %age Details %age
The query behind the report groups results on subtopic and question.
What I would like to do is put in a dividing line every time the question
changes. This will not be every line, however, since there can be up to 4
answers for each question. I am hiding duplicate questions, so the
question text only shows on the first line, although there may be 4 lines
for each question altogether.
When I try to add a separating line it adds one after every line, so for
each question there will be up to 4 lines. I only want a line to appear
when the question changes.
Can anyone help with this? It's driving me bonkers!
Many thanks
Denise CrawleyIf you include a group footer, you can create the line there.
