Placing Datafields depending on Record Count

edited December 2003 in General
Hi,

I have to fill a form where the data coming from the same pipeline has to go
to fields side by side rather than into the next row. Like this:

Data1 Data5
Data2 Data6
Data3 Data7
Data4 Data8

Can this be done?

I thought of placing the very same field twice side by side and then set the
text to nothing when the RecordCount is < 5 or >= 5 respectively. Problem
here, can't seem to find anything like RecordCount.

    Hi Stefan,

    It looks as though you may be able to use columns and the
    DetailBand.PrintCount property to get the effect you are after. In the
    Report PageSetup (access the Page Setup by selecting File | Page Setup...
    menu option in the Report Designer) select the Layout tab and define your
    columns. Then set the DetailBand.PrintCount to 4 and the data should look
    like your description below.
