[DUG] Report Builder Columns

[johnkbird at paradise.net.nz]

Doesn't seem to be that - the problem seems to be internally in the report builder.

In the IDE preview mode the records show down the screen in the left column and
continue down the right column.

When actually run in the program, they print exactly as though the report is set
to 1 column - the next column is on the following page, with new page headers
and footers.  For testing I purposely used smaller size fonts in case, just to
make sure it would not overflow any of the columns, and the page headers and
footers are behaving perfectly.

I am considering writing a routine to generate a new dataset with 2 records per
line, ie a left hand record fields and a right hand record fields as it has to
work and it looks like I will have to "roll my own".  Unless anyone knows of
such a routine already written somewhere!
