Variable report layout

[Wayne-I-M]

Hi

I have a single page report with a subreport (after a page break so it
prints on the back of the page - duplex)

Question
The main resport is normal layout the subreport is in 4 columns.

How do I keep both reports with original layout.
At the moment the sub will only print one column per page - so you get 5
pages in total

Many thanks

Sounds like you've been bitten by a bug which first cropped up in Access 97
(it was fine in 95 surprisingly!). I don't know if its been corrected in the
current version, but from 97 onwards multi-column reports in
'down-then-across' layout don't work correctly as subreports, although
'across-then-down' layout works fine.

Cheers for that - I din't know about the accross then down thing.

I have tried using a attached / inbed / / etc Word Doc as page 2 but Word is
cr**. It's the only bit of office that you can't save printer profiles for a
specific document (which means you can't run the access report and a word doc
as one so they will not staple).

I would have thought - as word is normally just used for basic "stuff" -
then word would have been the 1st place printer profiles could be saved.

Oh well, just started to get the new DB ready (by June I hope) in 2K7. We
will see if this sort of thing works any better in the new and "improved"
version.
