Multi column reports.

rbuser

Hi. I am using RB Enterprise 7.0 on Delphi 7.

I have a report which has a Sub report in the Detail band.

The Sub report has three columns. The traversal is left to right.

There are two requirements I am having difficulty with, and would appreciate
any help. The column has a static label, and a DB label.

1. Is there anyway I can get the DB label to wordwrap and grow in height?
IN other words, Lets say my Column can take AAAAAAAA , if it is fed
WWWWWWWWWWWWWW from the dataa set, then I want it to automaticall wrap and
grow in height.


2. Can I set the width and the left position of the columns differently. IN
other words, Column 1 is not as wide as Column 2 and 3.

Any advice on how I might acheive this, and on the properties I should set
would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tony,

Unfortunately the left to right column feature in ReportBuilder is very
limited in how you can customize its behavior. Left to Right columns do not
support dynamic height detail bands. You can however determine where each
column begins and ends using the Report.ColumnPositions property. This can
also be done in the Page Setup dialog from the main designer file menu.
