Columns

rbuser

I have a report that prints data down three columns. I also have a
ppShape on the detail band that alternatively shade odd numbers detail
lines.

If I set ColumnTraversal to ctTopToBottom and there is not enough data
to fill all four columns, I could end up with a rather large amount of
white space on the right bottom portion of the page (no shading)
because there are no detail bands left to print, therefore shading
does not occur.

The same type of situation occurs if I change ColumnTraversal to
ctLeftToRight.

How can I get the shading effect to fill in the blank areas that
remain?

PS. If I didn't explain the problem well enough, I can send a PDF
file that demonstrates the problem.

Hi Bill,

I created a quick example that does what I think you are trying to do. Be
sure you set the GroupFooter to phDynamic and the shape to
StretchWithParent. Hope this helps...
