    That is a multi-column formatted report. Report in design view, Page Setup tab, Page Layout section, Columns.

    Make sure none of the data will wrap as multi-line in textbox. Size Detail section tall enough for 30 records. Have to repeat the column labels horizontally in the header section.

    Thank you I think this is what I wanted, however when I follow your directions it shows the header's to the right but it cuts of at 30 records on the left, but no details show up to the right???
