Printing Data Sideways.

edited November 2008 in Devices
How would you go about displaying data in the detail band sideways. I would
like to have certain things print beside each other instead of the current
line printing(Down)

    Hi Pazzaz,

    Printing data horizontally can be done using horizontal columns. Set the
    Report.Columns property to the number of records you would like to see
    horizontally and set the DetailBand.ColumnTraversal property to
    ctLeftToRight.

    Do you mean in the page setup/layout?
    Also when I change the column it changes the width of the group band above
    and bellow the detail band.
    I would like to change just the detail band.

    Also I would like to have child items print sideways and the parent items
    down....

    Horizontal traversal is somewhat limited in ReportBuilder. You can set the
    columns of a subreport to print with horizontal columns if you would like to
    separate how the master and detail records display.

    If you need a band to stretch across the entire page with a columnar report,
    your best bet is to set the group to start a new page each time it breaks
    and use the Header and Footer bands to hold the information.
