MULTIPLE COLUMNS within SUB-REPORT ONLY

[Tim]

I have a particular report that show the following information

PAGE HEADER
-----
PERSON DATE1 DATE2 DATE3 NOTES STATUS

HEADER 1
-----
=format([dob],"mmmm")

detail
-----
xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx


now for the subreport I only need the persons sorted by their birth month.
I have setup the sup-report to show in multiple columns the way I would like
it to view it in the combined report; however, when I inset the subreport,
the columns don't show.

I have read previous references that say to set the columns to go from
right-to-left, but that doesn't apply in my case.

What do you mean by "...doesn't apply in my case"? A sub-report with
multiple columns has to either...

a) Use Across, Then Down columns
or
b) Have CanGrow = No on the sub-report control.
