Hi,

I'd like to have multiple lines displayed in a subreport for each entry, for example

-------------
Description PartNumber EntryNumber
Delivery Date Comments
-------------
Description Part Number EntryNumber

...etc

I think this should be easy, I just have to organize the labels and text boxes appropriately, but I CAN'T MOVE THE BOXES ONTO A SEPARATE LINE!!!

Am I doing something completely wrong? I'll provide examples if I have to.

Are you in 2007? If so, you may need to do this:

Worked!

Thanks Bob.

The worst part is that I remember reading a similar description in the book I learned Access from, but I didn't understand what it was saying without seeing the pictures. Oops.

Thank you.

Hi,
Have you tried using the Arrange tab (in Access 2007) and then selecting Remove. It should allow you to place items wherever you wish.
Good luck,

That's EXACTLY what my link shows (in Visual form). (a picture is worth a thousand words and I'm cheap when it comes to typing :D )
