Cross Posted Access D, Access L Access XP. I have a report which is a long column of text boxes with the text entered into the control source. Because different printers format reports slightly differently I have made the boxes shorter than the text warrants and have set the can grow property on for all the text boxes. There are no records associated with this report. I have set the Page Setup .. Number of columns to 2 and when I view the report the text boxes flow over two columns. The full report is two pages long. However, when I use the report as a subreport for another main report then the text boxes remain in one column. I have checked help and it suggests changing the column order to across then down. I have tried this but it doesn't make any difference (I guess because there are no records). Apart from physically placing the text boxes in two columns, does anyone know how I can get them to flow properly?
