What is the difference between Frame and Repeating Frame?
Frames are used to surround other objects and protect them from being overwritten or pushed by other objects. For example a frame might be used to surround all objects owned by a group to surround column headings or to surround summaries.
When you default the layout for a report Report Builder creates frames around report objects as needed; you can also create a frame manually in the Layout Model view.
Repeating frames surround all of the fields that are created for a group’s columns. The repeating frame prints (is fired) once for each record of the group.
