    2 columns on report

    Hi,



    I should start out by saying I normally develop in Java but my manager ask me to create an Access application for tracking equipment. So this might be a dumb question. My problem is with a report. I am bringing a query back that shows all of the equipment given to an employee. However the user wants the list to be in two columns side by side and I am not sure how to do this in Access.

    So kind of whats below,


    Equipment Assigned To banny04

    result1 | result2
    result3 | result4


    and so on.


    Any help would be appreciated.

    PS I am also working with Access 07

    You might set the report up as two-column. I have done this to get output like:

    Result1 | Result 10
    Result2 | Result 11
    Result3 | Result 12
    Result4 | Result 13
    Result5 | Result 14
    Result6 | Result 15
    Result7 | Result 16
    Result8 | Result 17
    Result9 | Result 18

    You might be able to get what you want with a column setting for Across, then Down.

    If that doesn't work use VBA code. Check this:
