Subreport formating 1

[lbigk]

Hello,

I have two subreports that are formatted into columns, as soon as I put subreports on the primary report, columns jump all over the place. Does anyone know how to keep subreport column formatting on the main report in Access 2003.

Thank you.

Multi-column subreports don't "jump all over the place" for me. What do you mean? Are the columns in the subreport set to display across then down? Are there link master/child properties?

I have 2 subreports, both formated into 2 columns "Down, then Across". Both reports are linked to the main report. When subreports are displayed individually, 2 columns are on the same page, as soon as reports are embeded into the main report, first column shows on the first page, next one - skips a page and is displayed in the same place as the first column. The second report does the same, skips a page and places one column per page.

Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.

Multiple columns in subreports only work if displayed across then down. You can get around this by not allowing a subreport to grow or creating values that order the records so that Across then Down renders like Down then Across.
