Subreport with multiple columns

rbuser

The detail of my main report extends across the page, 1 column.

I have a subreport occupying 2" along the right edge of the main detail
area. This subreport should list 4 detail items per column, traversed left
to right, so that 4 or less detail rows fit on a single printed line. The
only thing printed for each detail row is a 4-character code, which fits
easy in .5 inches.

Reading some other messages makes me think this kind of design is possible
(differing numbers of columns in sub-reports), but I can't quite figure it
out. Is there a step-by-step guide somewhere?

With the detail band's columnTraversal set to ctTopToBottom the report
prints fine, except I get

Detail1
Detail2
Detail3
Detail4
Detail5

instead of

Detail1 Detail2 Detail3 Detail4
Detail5

What do I need to change/check? Thanks in advance.

With columnTraversal set to ctLeftToRight, it prints okay if there is a
single detail record. With 2 detail records, though, nothing is printed.

I have the subreport page setup at 5 columns, .5" each, first one at 0".

There is a known issue with LeftToRight column traversal. This has been
fixed for RB6.5 but unfortunately no patch is available for RB6.03.

Is 6.5 available? What's the charge for 6.03 users?

What is the latest version of RB that is available?

Version 6.03 is the latest version. Version 6.5 is still a few months away
from
release.
