Master-Detail, printing Details across the page

rbuser

Hi all,

I have a Master-Detail report, and the detail is in a SubReport
(actually it is a Master and 2 SubReports). In one of the SubReports
the Detail records are printed down the page - the usual one record
per line.

The only field printed is the DetailCode which is a 10 character
string. Sometimes there are 100 lines printed with only 5 text
characters per line

What I wish to do is print as many records DetailCode field ACROSS the
page (instead of one DetailCode per line DOWN the page). Maybe
seperate each DetailCode by a comma or some other idea.

Any ideas on how to do this? or a demo somewhere?

Thank you very much,
Pat

(using Delphi 6, RB 7.03)

Hi Pat,

Although it can be somewhat restrictive, try using horizontal columns. See
the layout tab of the Page Setup dialog to set this up correctly. Access
the Page Setup Dialog from the file menu of the report designer.
