I have a report where I need to list from 1 to 9 instances of a data
item at the bottom of each report page.

I want to be able to format the report so that I have up to 3 columns of
3 rows each when all 9 items need printing e.g.

Item 1 Item 4 Item 7
Item 2 Item 5 Item 8
Item 3 Item 6 Item 9

There could be only 1 item or a maximum of 9 and any quantity in between.

How would I set up my report to achieve this?

Thanks
 
"instances of a data item"? Is this a subreport on a main report?
"format the report" or format "at the bottom of each report page"?
 
Duane: no it's not a sub-report. I have to print a list of passenger
names (holiday application) at the bottom of an invoice. As I said there
could be 1 to 9 names - which I want to format as shown in my initia post.
 
Your passenger names can be in a multiple column subreport placed in your
invoice group footer.
 
Duane: I've had a look at this and I can't see how I can create multiple
columns from one source field. Am I missing something?
 
To create a multicolumn report (that you can then use as a subreport), open
the report in Design mode, and select File | Page Setup from the menu. Look
on the Columns tab.
