Topic: Need Help With Record Handling Posted: 01 May 2013 at 12:13pm
I want to create a report with CR XI that will only print one line after having read six records from the database. The idea is to get a print line that contains three fields from each record and spreads/repeats the data from six records on each print line.
For example. I'm reading (ODBC) a table of customer orders. I want to spread the data for six orders on a single print line. If there were 60 orders, I'd have 10 prints lines with data from 6 orders on each line.
This one has me stumped. Any help is greatly appreciated.
If I understand you correctly, you want to split your detail section into 6 different parts, printed next to each other?
In that case, right click on your detail section and go to Section Expert. Check the box that says Format with Multiple Columns. This should create another tab called Layout. Here you have to set the width of your section (if you want it to be printed 6 times, I guess it should be around 3 cm). Finally, set your Printing Direction on Across then Down.
That should do the trick [IMG]smileys/smiley1.gif" align="middle" />
