Please tell me, is there a way to get records to show Left-To-Right instead of up to down on a report? I have a query that pulls only 5 records, and it's listing those 5 records for each heading all the way down the page. I just want a few lines with the 5 numbers across the page. I looked in my page setup and there's a section to set the columns, but most of it is grayed out. Help!
 
Two options:

1) Go into design view and move the fields around to where you want them on the page.

2) When you create the report use the auto-column wizard.

HTH

You can quite easily set up a multicolumn report.

Things were probably greyed out in page setup because you had the number of columns set ot the default of 1. Try another number such as 5, and the "across, then down" option should then be available.
 
Perhaps I didn't explain it clearly. I have one box in the Detail section that pulls a record from the query. I have up to 10 of these records and I want them to display left-to-right instead of listing them downwards on the page.

Changing the columns didn't do anything but place the second half the report beside the first half.
 
Yeah, I figured it out. Since I was pulling these records on a subreport, I just made 5 small columns on the subreport. That did the trick. Thanks!
