Access report views a new column the same as a new page?

[Chky071]

I have run a query that reports the following information. I am using Access 2007

Model (Text)
Start Time (Time)
Step (1-5)

I have a report that is grouped by step and I have Force new page selected for this group. So the idea is that each page will show the models and start times for each step on separate pages.

Since the width of what I am showing is not very wide I want two columns so that when there is too much data the data will just continue in the next column rather than create a new page. This way all the information for each step will be contained on one page.

I am running into problems when there isn't enough data for a given step to fill up the entire first column. Access is placing the next data set (Step #2 for example) in the next column rather than on its own page. Does access view a new column as a new page? I thought that selecting "Force new page" for my group would force a new physical page and not just dump the next data set into the next column.

Does anyone know a way around this?



Thanks

Nevermind, solved the problem.

Would you like to share how?

I put all the header information that I wanted under Page Header. I only created the group so that I could have each group of data on a single page. There weren't any fields in the Group Header, since there were no fields I shrunk the size of it down to nothing. I guess when I did this it caused the problem. I went back and made the group header just a little bit bigger. There still aren't any fields in the group header, but that fixed it.
