help with columns in report

[bjsbrown]

Access 03, Windows 7 - have a three column report with name field and address field in a name header and date field plus amount field in detail. When the report runs, the second and third column of the detail starts in the area next to the name/address rather than lining up beside the first column of data. I have messed with the formatting and have tried a subreport but didn't get the desired result. What must I do. Thanks.

Property sheet for name header section: set 'New Row or Col' to After Section

Thanks but that just moves the first column up to the space beside the name. Other suggestions appreciated.

If that didn't work, then did you try Before & After Section?
What is different about your report so that this doesn't work there, but works in the attached report?

Here it is as an mdb

I did change all those properties. I'll compare the one you made available tomorrow and let you know what's different, if anything. Thanks for the help.

Kimmer - I have more fields than your report but I see no drastic changes in your settings from what I'm using. You have a branch header and I have a name header. You want amounts and I want dates. The only differences are the left, top, width and ht settings but this shouldn't matter. I did reset to what you had but the problem is still there. Your rpt is 4.5 and mine is 6.5 but should that make a difference. Access won't allow me to resize. I also changed the page setup many times to no avail. The second column still shows up beside the name no matter what I do. Any other suggestions.

If you upload it, I'll have a look.

Sorry it took so long. I had to consider confidentality with the data and the copy I'm sending you has made up data but the reports, etc. are the same. Page 1 shows column 2 and 3 beside the name, address section but the other pages show correctly. The report with a 2 at the end is the problem one.
