Making two or three columns instead of one

[Olgana]

I created a simple database with visitors. In my report a have just a few posts.



Date
Contact person
Phone number
Company

And then a list over the group over visitors.

If there are many visitors the report vil look a bit like this

01.02.16
James McFadden
123 456 789 00
Shell

Phil Ashford
James Hall
Jessica Hanson
Angus McIntyre
Susan Greyford
... and so on.

If a have a list over 50 people it will fill up the page verically, but is it possible to take advantage of the space horizontally?

I little more like this, with two og three columns with visitors instead of just the one. I can always make three diffrent posts in the form, but can this be done straight in the rapport?

Sorry for the bad english!

Edit: The splitting into to colums didn't look nice in this post, but hopefully you get the idea.

Edit 2: Wow, I see now that I posted it in the wrong place. Should have been postet under "Reports".

Maybe this is what you need: http://www.techonthenet.com/access/r...eport_2007.php

For some reason that didn't do any different. I followed the example step by step, but the result is the same; just one single column. I even tried with a new report with just the name of the visitors, no contact person and info, and it still gave just one column. Strange.

Can you post a copy of the db

I'm at work at a "safe connection", so I can't upload the database apperantly. But this is the screenshot of how I followed the example.

Not sure that the difference would matter but you don't appear to have changed all the settings as illustrated in the example (Under "Column Size", set the Width to 3".)

Ah, in the example it says inches, but I am using cm But Google gave me the wrong answer I see now, 3" is 7.62 cm, but it didn't help changing it either.

Just for fun I created a new database with a simple table with one post and 40 records and made a report based on that. It still wouldn't split in two columns. Maybe there something I need to active in Access?
