Presentation problems with Access Reports. 1

[kingz2000]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if it is possible to present a long bar chart from the page header to the page footer on the right hand side of a page where the left hand side contains data (ie Details). If this isn't directly possible, will subreports help me? In Crystal reports there is a so-called 'Underlay' function, which allows you to underlay graphics as well as charts on other regions.Is this possible with Access? All I want is a table on the left and a chart directly next to it on the right..
Thanks for all the support.

yes, a subreport would be the way to go...

try having 2, side by side, one for the table, and the other for the chart...

but If I insert the chart as a subreport, I have to still squeeze it in one of the available headers or footers..I don't wanna squeeze it at all.

Procrastination is a thief of time!

You can "underlay" sections in Access reports with code like:

Me.MoveLayout = False

This will begin the next printed section on top of the current printing section. There are examples in the Watermark/Logo on Report and Calendar reports at
