Intermediate Access

How do you when report writing, get the data to be displayed horizontally instead of vertically?

So for example in design view I am constructing the layout of my report. When I put the field headers in place once selected from my query, they automatically are displaying the data down the page and not accross the page.

RE: Intermediate Access

I suggest running a form wizard and creating a report using the tabular format.
This will give you a good understanding of how to setup reports in the format you are looking for.

Essentially you need to add a "page header" area.
You can do this by clicking on VIEW, PAGE HEADER when you are in the Design view of a report. You need the field label in the page heading, and the field value in the detail section.

Hope that helps.

Access tip:

Switchboard Startup

An option when you open your Access database that contains all of you tables, forms and queries is only the switchboard is displayed.

To achieve this, select Tools click on Startup. On the right hand side of the Startup screen you are able to select which form you want to open when you open you Access Database. Once you have selected this, there is a check box just below that says "Display Database Window", you need to uncheck this option. Then click ok.

Then when you close you Access database and re open it, the database should open with just the switchboard being shown
