need help with crystal reports

[salooo]

Hi,

I am using Visual Studio.NET and deploying crystal reports using the C# language. I would like to create a report to that would help save paper. I need to know how I can create a report that would display the data in the following fashion:

order # Order Date Amount order # Order Date Amount
1 10/15/03 1254.30 2 10/15/03 1358.30
3 10/15/03 125.00 4 10/15/03 1111.50
5 10/15/03 1254.30 6 10/15/03 1358.30
.............................
...............etc

I would really appreciate if someone can tell me the steps to create such a report in crystal. I would like to have 9 columns on each page, where after every 3 columns the following records are displayed as shown above.

Thanks.

Salmaan.

salooo,

Here are the steps to get the data formatted.
1.Put the fields you want in the detail section.
2.Right click on the detail section.
3.Under the Common Tab click the option Format with Multiple Columns
4.Go to the layout tab and fill in the following fields:
Detail Size: Width = 3.00
Gap between details: Horizontal = 2.00
Printing direction = Across then down
5. click ok

This should make your data go across then down.

I am not sure what you meant by:
"I would like to have 9 columns on each page, where after every 3 columns the following records are displayed as shown above." If you want to further explain I would be happy to take a look at it.
