I am having the same issue...need a "Draw Top Ruling on First Sheet Only" checkbox due to a very stubborn and antiquated customer requirement. Their suggestion was to open the ruling of the header row which also opens the ruling on the continued page header. Then manually draw a line using the Graphic Line tool at the top of the table to give the appearance of a closed ruling. My issue was that anytime they decide to add/delete content the graphic line is not anchored to the table therefore needs to be moved anytime the spacing in the text changes. Given a 1200 page document this can be very time consuming.

I tried opening the ruling on my header row, nserting a new row above my header row, then changing the row format to a maximum of 0.02 which created a very thin row with closed ruling. However FM is automatically repeating this row on the continued page as well.

I tried Thomas' suggestion of creating a new single row table just above the table, but was unable to insert a new table in between the Table Title and the actual table.

Any suggestions? Thanks for your help in advance.
