OK I really tried to figure this one out and can’t. I need a report that prints Images from a table with images in it on ½ of a sheet of paper. The paper can then be cut in half to make a 5.5 by 8.5 page for books.

So I need to know how you would format a report that is:

Page size 8.5 by 11

Printed page would be:
________________________
| Detail Detail |
| IMG1 IMG2 |
| |
| |
| |
_________________________
 
Have you tried playing with the columns setting in Page Setup? If your Detail and IMG data will take up the same amount of space, format your margins so you get one record per page then when you tell it to go to 2 columns, it should put two on a page. If your data is not consistent in size, just make the Detail section be the max that will fit in your 8.5 space. In the one I just tried, I set the report to Landscape, Margins are a custom .3 all around with columns set to 2. My detail section is 7 inches tall by 4.5 wide and my fields only take up the first 1/4 of the detail section.
