In report studio if you create a section on lets say facility in a list report the report will look like

facility A
_________________________________________

column a            column b

The line beneath the sectioned item spans the width of the list. Did you try reducing the size of the list?

Hi

but even with 1 item in the list the line goes accross the entire section. It there a spot to change the length of this line

When you create a section you typically get an inner and an outer list. Take a look at the structure view. The outer list seems to get created with a size and overflow property of 100% for width by default. Navigate to the list properties for the outer list and set the size.

Personally I avoid sectioning for this reason. Another option is to group on facility and add a group header to your list, then put the facility query item in there.
