[texhax] boders on top and bottom only with \fcolorbox -solved

[Brent Legge]

Alright, I figured it out.  Nothing like a good 45min workout to clear 
the mind.  I got it to work with strategicly placec \vskip(s) to move 
the position of the \fcolorbox in tandem with the \rule(s)

\newcommand{\accountheader}[4]{
  \sffamily\fontseries{bx}\fontshape{n}\selectfont
  \parbox{17.55cm}{
    \parbox[1pt]{17.55cm}{\vskip10mm\rule{17.95cm}{1pt}}%
   
    \vskip-0.25mm\fcolorbox {lightgray}{lightgray}{
      \parbox{17.55cm}{\hskip-3pt
    \parbox{4.8cm}{\vskip2pt \scriptsize Nr~rachunku \vskip4pt
      \footnotesize \an{#1}\vskip2pt}
    \parbox{7cm}{\vskip2pt \scriptsize Rodzaj~rachunku \vskip4pt
      \footnotesize \an{#2}\vskip2pt}
    \parbox{3cm}{\vskip2pt \scriptsize Oprocentowanie~rachunku \vskip4pt
      \footnotesize\hfil \an{#3}\hfill\vskip2pt}\nobreak
    \hskip3pt\parbox{2cm}{\vskip2pt \scriptsize\hfil 
Waluta~rachunku\hfill \vskip4pt
      \footnotesize \hfil\an{#4}\hfill\vskip2pt}
      }
    }
    \parbox{17.55cm}{\vskip-0.25mm\rule{17.95cm}{1pt}}
  }
    \sffamily\fontseries{m}\fontshape{n}\selectfont
}
