Sub Report placement

[RipperT]

I have 5 fields in the detail section of a report that only take up half the
page vertically. I want to use the blank space on the right side of the page
to create a "legend" that is not tied to any other data on the report. It is
for visual purposes only and spans nearly the length of the page top to
bottom and I'd like it to be on every page. I've tried using a subreport but
can't figure out where to place it on the main report. It can't go in the
detail section as that spreads out the space between each record the
distance of the sub report. Likewise if I put it in the page/report
header/footer sections it creates wide empty spaces of white that aren't
practical. I've fooled around with columns but can't figure it out. I'm sure
there's a way...please help - thanks!

Put the subreport on the right side of the page header
section and size the section and the subreport as needed to
display the entire "legend".

To get the details to display on top of the page header, use
a line of code in the page header section's Format event
procedure:
Me.MoveLayout = False
