seeking advice on drawing rectangles on a form using filepro 5.8

[Nancy Palmquist]

I know this is a silly suggestion but in the form layout, you can use F7 
and just draw a box on the form.  If your printcodes are
setup correctly, it will draw a nice box.  I just tried it in 5.6 so it 
should also work in 5.8.

Did the box have to vary or something?
