Columns

[Henley12]

I know this is an easy question, but I am apparently brain-dead today. I am trying to make a columnar report in Access 2007. Just two pieces of data repeated across a page about 4 times. I haven't done this in so long, I have forgotten how. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's in the Columns tab of Page Setup.

I tried that, but I'm missing something, because it still just does one column.

Make sure that the COLUMN SIZE (Width) is set to fit more than one column. It defaults to the detail size, but you need to change it to what you need.

if that isnt clear, you need to make the used area of the DETAIL section of your page sufficiently narrow, and set the column count to 4, so that 4 sets of your data then fill the whole printable width. You will need to repeat the headings in the page or group header.

I told you I was an idiot. Thanks for your help. Works like a charm when you do it right!

Just because you don't know how to do something doesn't an idiot make.

I'm doing something similar, but I need the Header section of the report to still be a single column, with a list of names underneath it. (The header is the listing of a class, its date, and the leader, with the students listed in the Detail section.)

Anybody have ideas on that part? Thanks.

Did you ever get this sorted?

No, sorry. Still don't have it figured out.
