I am trying to layout a report that has snaking columns. This is a multi-column report that snakes from the bottom of one column to the top of the next, like a newspaper. From what I have read, it is a matter of setting the report properties to the number of columns. When I do this and drop a field name on the report it doesn't snake at all. It just renders as a long list. I have seen some forum responses that recommend calculating the specific record count per column and forcing the remainder to the next column. Is this really the approach needed for SRS? This simple task can be handled in Crystal no problem without doing my own calculations.
