Snaking columns like in MS-Access? 1

[AdHoc]

The client wants a report that lists records in columns, five to a page. There can be any number of records, so if there is a sixth, it starts as the leftmost column on page 2, and so on. Like this:

Record1    Record2    Record3    Record4    Record5
field_a    field_a    field_a    field_a    field_a
field_b    field_b    field_b    field_b    field_b
field_c    field_c    field_c    field_c    field_c
etc.       etc.       etc.       etc.       etc.

new page

Record6
field_a
field_b
field_c
(there are dozens of fields)

Their pre-Y2K application could do this. MS-Access reports can do this - Access calls it "snaking columns". Can Crystal Reports version 8.0 do this? I've searched the help files, and I don't think cross-tab or OLAP are what I need.

Hi

You may be able to achieve what you want using the tick box at the bottom of the Details Format Section options from the Design View of Crystal.
