Column Breaks?

[Dakotah]

I'm using CR8.0. Does anyone have an idea on how to force the detail line to go to the top of the next column before the bottom of the current column is reached?

Yes, sort of. It's very involved. It requires that you split your details section into A and B sections. The items that are currently in your Details section would be in the A section and your B section would be blank (and probably not very "tall". In the section expert, you would do to things for the B details section. First, you would conditionally suppress it every time the A section prints and you don't want to move to the next column. Also, you would check the item called "Print at bottom of page". So, the only time B would print would be based on your conditional formula and when it prints, it will print at the bottom of the page, which will force a column break. The real trick is coming up with your conditional formula. (It will probably involve the use of variables, which will need to be reset when you move to the top of the next column so your B details section doesn't immediately print at the bottom of the page again.) I have a sample report that runs, I think, against the Xtreme sample database that illustrates the process. If you'd like me to send it to you, just provide an email address.

Whew! That is a bit involved, but I think I can make it work for me in at least a few scenarios. Thanks!

I'd also like to see that sample report you have.
