Double Line border turn to be single in Reporting Service

I tried to set double in bottom border of text file. But it turned out to be single line either Previewing in Designer or Printing or Exporting to PDF. Does anyone have any idea?Try to increase width to at least 3pt|||

Thank you for your post, Lev. I just tried that. But it seems not working even I set borderwidth to 5pt. I found double line is OK only when exporting to excel. Does anyone else have the same issue with me?

What version of RS are you using? Are you viewing the PDF at 100% zoom? It should work with a width of >3pt.

Thank you.

Dear Donovan,

I tried again after your reply. It did work this time. There must be somewhere wrong while I did my test yesterday.

Thank both of you, Lev & Donovan!

Cheers!

|||I am having the exact same problem. I am using RS2005. I set the bottom border to double. I have tried changing the border width and this just makes the single line that is displayed thicker. If I export to Excel, I can see the double line, otherwise in preview, pdf, etc, I only see the single line. Any other ideas?|||

Could this be the result of border clipping? Is the report item you placed the double border on inside of another item? A border starts at the edge of a report item and extends out half the width on each side of this edge. If the item with a border is contained inside another item, any of the border that extends beyond the bounds of that container will be clipped. In this way, a double border will appear to show only a single border if half of it is clipped.

If that's not the case, would you please either post a simple demonstration RDL to this thread or open a bug on http://connect.microsoft.com so I can take a look?

Thank you.

|||It looks like the border is being "clipped off". I am using a matrix to display the data. The very last row of the matrix is where I am attempting to set the bottom border as double. If I add another row below this one, the double border is displayed correctly.
