How do I make this grouped multi column report work?

rbuser

Hi,
I want to make a grouped report with multiple columns (4). I can get it to
print correct if group checkbox start new page on change of group is
checked, but it prints too many pages that way. If non of the "on change of
group" checkboxes is checked it prints details on top of groupnames (or vise
versa), and the detail fields are not in printed in correct layout order.
How can I get to work ?

I have columnTraversal set to ctLeftToRight.

This is what I want it to look:
GroupNameA
1111111111 22222222222 333333333
4444444444 55555555555 666666666

GroupNameB
1111111111 22222222222 333333333
4444444444 55555555555 666666666

etc


This it is what it looks like (imaging the field value 1111111111 is
overwriting field value 4444444444)
GroupNameA 22222222222 333333333
4141414141 55555555555 666666666

and this; where detail fields are printed in the second or third column even
when there is only one detail in that group..

GroupNameC
22222222222
GroupNameD
333333333
GroupNameE


666666666


Using D6, RB 9.0

Thanks

Hi Lasse,

This is a limitation of the horizontal band engine in ReportBuilder.
Grouping left to right columns is not fully supported to work the way you
need.
