Report design help

[itnchans]

I currently trying to design a report which will print on a A3 page. It will print 8 records (split over 4 columns - 4 up and 4 down) to a page with the 5th column being a summary on the right hand side.

Each record will be in sections:-

Section 1 will contain, date, time, client, customer ref, no. of people, ref no.

Section 2 will list items ordered and quantity.

Section 3 will be specail instruction s & notes.

The summary column will contain totals, a rough layout in attached as a word document.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to create this report or access to an example report thats similar to the oe i'n trying to crete.

thanks in adavance.

Without the summary section you could have done it as a label layout however it becomes a totally new ball game with the layout you have suggested.

The only way I can suggest, and this is off the top of my head is to create the label report to match the 4x4 and then create a main report that has the summary in the detail section and insert the label report as a sub report.

This only issue will be relating the records together. There may be others who may know something I don't.

Thanks for the prompt reply David, never thought of using a label layout. I will try this avenue as well.
