Default Formatting the height of a section to fill out a page

Hello,
I have a report in which I would like to run vertical lines down to the bottom of a page to duplicate a form's appearance. I can create the lines by using the .Line method in the report's module easily enough. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to change the height of a section such that if my lines run from the top of a section to the bottom, the section will have the correct height to fill out the page. My sections are the page header/footer, a group header/footer, and the details sections. I am trying to place the lines in the group footer and change the height of the group footer section. Any ideas?

If you want the line to span areas of the page, regardless
of section boundariesm then use the report's Page event to
draw the lines.
