Report Band Properties Dialog Box (Report Builder)
Makes it possible for you to set properties and options for a Band in a report or label page layout in the Report Designer or Label Designer.
This dialog box appears when you choose Properties from the context menu of a report band separator, when you double-click on a report band separator, or when you double-click on the band name in the Edit Bands Dialog Box.
Note
This dialog box is only displayed if the _REPORTBUILDER system variable is set to the default Report Builder application. If it is empty, or has been set to a third-party report builder, the native Visual FoxPro dialog box (or a third-party dialog box) may appear. For more information, see _REPORTBUILDER System Variable.
