Report columns (2000 SP-3)

Hi,

Is it possible with report columns to have each detail section start at the top of a column? I tried setting up a report with columns that go down, then across, and then played with the New Row or Col property of the detail section. The data still runs together, that is, the next section starts immediately after the previous section.

Thanks,
Bob

I think you should try again, and check the settings carefully, for you describe the correct way to start each section at the top of a column:
– Set Column Layout to Down, then Across in the Columns tab of File | Page Setup…
– Set the New Row or Col property of the Detail section to Before Section.

After a little more experimentation, I realized I had to adjust a date header too. I set the Date Header New Row or Col setting to Before Section and the Detail New Row or Col setting to None and it came out fine.

Thanks,
Bob
