Hi there,

The requirement I have is to display the result set across the page, rather than down the page. I have figured out a major part of this is using the 'Across and then down' layout. To illustrate, I'm getting the flow I want, Eg. :-


John Naomi Peter
M    F     M
1980 1990 1970
Red Black Blonde

Aaron Betty Charles
M     F     M
1980 1990 1970
Red   Black Blonde


However, what I can't figure out is how to add Field labels to just the beginning of each row. Eg :-


Name: John Naomi Peter
Sex: M    F     M
DOB: 1980 1990 1970
Hair: Red Black Blonde

Name: Aaron Betty Charles
Sex: M     F     M
DOB: 1980 1990 1970
Hair: Red   Black Blonde


I'm using Crystal Reports XI. Anybody have a solution for this?

Many thanks,
Josh.

Thanks for your reply. I had a try, but that seems to be geared towards cross referencing multiple dimensions in the dataset. In my case, it's just a straight single repeating group, so I could not get it to behave how I'd like it to using a Cross-Tab.

It's a nice suggestion, however the side effect would be that I would end up with gaps between each dataset item where the text boxes were suppressed.

I like the lateral thinking, but it might be a bit crazy as you suggested. The deal breaker is the headers.

Thanks for all the suggestions. For now, I've convinced the BA to redesign the layout to a more traditional downward flowing report.

Cheers.
