Changing the way records are displayed in report?

[CTOROCK]

Access creates reports and each records goes in a downward form, or to say, each record is under each other going down. Is there a way that access create reports to go from left to right instead of up to down? "The greatest risk, is not taking one."

Sounds like you're trying to get a newspaper-like or "snaking" thing going.

Take a look at the online help under REPORTS, COLUMNS. There's a good piece on "Create a multiple-column report".

Hope this helps.

Click on HELP from the menubar. Then click on CONTENTS AND INDEX. Click on the INDEX tab, type REPORTS in box 1 and press DISPLAY.

The results will show you all the topics under REPORTS. Click on COLUMNS and press DISPLAY.

It's interactive so it'll walk you through an example.

If you don't have the HELP files installed, you need to reinstall Access.

Good luck!
