Column layout 2 column question

[Guest]

i have a subreport that will have a column layout for a subform. I am having
a problem with the down and then across. I have a list that on the 11th line
it will start to list on the 2nd column, so column 2 would start at item 12
and so on down. On the Subreport everything looks fine, however on the
mainreport the subreport is listing 1 column; the 12th and so on items are on
the 1st column

Why is this happening? I am able to list across and down with no problems
but this isn't the output that I am looking for.

thanks

Subreports with multiple columns work across then down "out of the box". If
you want down then across, you may need to add a column to your subreport's
record source that determines the column number. Then add multiple copies of
the subreport (as single columns) across the main report. Set the Link
Master/Child to include the added column in your subreport's record source
and text boxes on the main report like:
Name: txtCol1
Control Source: =1

You can also attempt to create a column in the subreport's recordsource that
the sorting would look like down then across.
