Well

It really didnt come out like i want....

this is what i have:

i have a queary set up.. now on the report that i have made i have a list box that shows the query contents for a report print out,,,,, now my queary has about 25 names in it. on the list box, i have to go in and edit the size of the box (length wise) to make every name fit within the box (if the box is to small then on the report all the names do not show up. Length of the box is a factor because it prints out to two pages,,, ,NOW the width i have allot of room,,,, but i cant get the list to "roll" over to the next colum. i would like for it to...

is there a way to do that?

thanks

Yes

Pat,,,

Unless i am setting it up wrong,,, it isnt doing what i want it to do.. the vertical size is the problem,,,, thats why i was wanting it to "wrap" to two colums.

this is what i have done to try the subreport:

clicked the sub report tool button, dropped it on my report,,, when i view it,,,, it is doing the same thing as the list box was doing originally

could i be doing it wrong or something?

thanks
