I am trying to print phone # list fname,lname,phone number in detail section (database driven). I want cell number and pager number to printed on right side of detail section. How can I do that?

example:
detail section divided into two
partFname Lname Phone # cell #
                                   Fname Lname Cell #

                                   Pager #
                                    Fname Lname Cell #

If I'm understanding this properly, you want the left side of the detail to have only the Name and a main phone number, then the right side to have any cell or pager number.

I'm not certain why you can't just insert the fields into these locations, unless you have a table where you have a phone type and then phone number for each type. If that's the case, you could make a formula where

{@CellNumber}
If PhoneType = "cell" then PhoneNumber

... and insert that into the right side of the report. You could do the same for Pager number and the names as well.

I don't know if I'm fully understanding your question...

I have two tables. Employee table and pagers table. I get phone number and cell phone number from employe table. Every employee does not have a cell phone number. I want to display all cellnumber on left side of detail section using (select statement). want to display cell number (using different select statement and subreport)on right side of phone number. same thing with pagernumber (select statement and subreport) on right side of phone number below cell phone number.

Seems like it might be cleaner to pull this off with one query between the two tables using an inner join where the employee table is the main table. If you do that and insert the fields into the areas where you want them, they should have no problem displaying. You can then conditionally format to suppress printing on blank sections.
