Dynamic Report Problem

rbuser

Hi there,

I need to develop a report that has the following format (i.e. this is the
column layout):

Field 1 | Field 2 | Dynamic Field 1 | Dynamic Field 2 ....... | Field 3 |
Field 4 | Field 5 |

How would be the best way to develop this report in RB (Pro 6.03) when you
have some static fields on either side of some dynamic fields (number of
dynamic fields can change depending what what the user selected). I have
looked at doing this in code but it looks like it will be an absolute
nightmare to code. Is there any other way? Thanks.

Hi Richard,

Check out the first example on how to create columns dynamically as you
need them at runtime. The second example shows how to overflow columns to
the next page horizontally if needed by creating two subreports and
collating the pages from each.
