access thread: Report Width


Message #1 by Pam McMillin <pmcmillin@m...> on Mon, 19 Aug 2002 15:57:24 -0500
I have a report design that is going landscape and I am using legal size 
paper.  My report spans two legal pages.  I am needing to go further than 
the 22" default page width in a report.  Is there any way to do this?

I have projects going across the page and each project calculates total 
hours and the percentage of those hours.  My company keeps adding more 
projects and I don't know where to go from here if I can't get more width????

Any help would be great....

Thanks in advance...

Pam, I don't know the answer to your width expansion but I can give you 
this advice.  Given what you wrote, I strongly suggest you re-examine your 
output, organize it into logical sections, and add grouping to your 
report.  Grouping the data into sections (e.g. by project) will not only 
organize the output better, but it will eliminate your width problem 
because you won't be trying to present EVERYTHING all at once.

Greg
