Author Borders not appearing if field is null

I have several fields that ive placed borders around.
However when a field is null the borders dont display.

How can I get the borders to appear even if the field is empty?

Thanks

Don,

I have not tried it and don't know if this will work. Have you tried
replacing the blank field with space?

Hi Don,
Adding to PJ's suggestion: replace the database field with a formula
field. The formula field will look for 'Null' and replace it with an empty
string. This way there is always something there.
If Not IsNull({Table.MyField}) Then {Table.MyField} Else " "
