Expand columns in a report

[ccrupi]

Hi,
When I want to print preview a report, the preview shows that th
columns are not wide enough and some of the data is chopped-off, ie.
need to change the column width somehow for all the data to appear (an
preferably make it fit to a page). When I change the page set-up t
landscape, the column width still remains the same.
Please help

I assume with columns you mean the width of the textbox.
You must adjust the width of the text box in the report
design view, just changing to landscape has no effect on
the size of the text boxes or on the label size.
If you meant the true column (as in page setup and select
a news paper column printout) you would have to adjust the
coumn width in the page setup window.
Now there is one option utilizing the stretch property of
the textbox and/or the report band. this would not widen
the text boxes however this would continue the data on the
next text line (like word wrap).
Hope this helps.
