Snake Columns in Subreport

Guest

I have a report with unbound columns calculating summary information and a
subreport with a snake column displaying records (both in the report footer).
The subreport works great when opened on it's own, but when I embed it into
another report and open that report, it doesn't snake. The information is
continued on another page. Need it to stay on one page. Thanks for your
help on this!

(end of page)

Multi-column subreports should be set to display "Across then Down". There
are a couple complex methods of creating a Down then Across. One involves
creating a sorting field in your record source the artificially creates an
order value that corresponds with down then across. The other method derives
a "column number" value in the query. You can then use two or more copies of
the same subreport but they are changed to single columns.

Thanks, Duane. I thought I had set it Across-Down; shows the importance of
checking everything EVERY time.
