In section reports, you can use the CrossSectionBox report control to display a frame that runs from a header section through its related footer section, spanning all details that come between.
You can place the CrossSectionBox control in the header or footer sections in the designer. On adding the control in the footer section, it automatically associates itself with the related header section in the Report Explorer. The control automatically spans intervening sections to end in the related footer section.
Clicking the four-way arrow selects the control and reveals its properties.
