Making a data report display in several columns

[dchicora]

I am using the Data Report designer to create a report in my vb6 app. Can I make the report display it's information in several columns instead of it being in one continuous column?

Thanks!

The Data Report is pretty limited and does not have the functionality to create a multi-column report.

What you could do is manually create a recordset which repeats the fields for the number of columns you want to print. For example, if you want a list of CompanyNames in 3 columns the recordset would need to contain

Company1, Company2, Company3. Then use 3 labels on the report.

Ok, thanks! Unfortunately that won't work for me because I need to do a sort based on a calculation of several different fields. I was hoping there would be a way to display several columns like you can do with an Access report.
