I need to create a report that has multiples columns across the page, with 2
different data items. For example:

Name Date Name Date Name Date Name Date

The name should go down the page and then back up to the top in column 3.
The date should do the same.

I have tried to set up the columns, but it only applies to one column of data.

Click to expand...

First, set the width of the report to that of just one column:
Name Date

Then click on
File + Page Setup + Columns

Set the Number of columns to 4
Click on the check box to set the Column Size to Same as Detail.

Set the Column Layout to
Down then Across

Save the changes.
Run the report.
 
'but it only applies to one column of data.' What only applies to one column
of data? What do you mean by "data items"? In Access, we use terms like
records, fields, field values, ...

Column Layout lets you choose between "Across then Down" or "Down then
Across".
