Mulitple Records and Crystal Report

Hi,

How do I include multiple records in one Crystal Report page. Example: the report page is divided in to left and right Column and a page contains eight Records with 6 fields for each record. The first record is displayed on the left and the second record on the right and the third on the left column just below the first and so on until the 8th record is reach, then we move to next page with same process of records arrangements until EOF is reach.

How do I also incorporate a VB variable into crystal Report such that for Every record printed as mention above, the variable values in cremented by one. The VB Variable type is a combination of two variable type String and Integer combine to form a string variable pass to Crystal Report.

I am using Vb ver. 6 and Crystal Report Ver. 7.

Thanks very much!
