Default Reports in a report

In your image, swap the positions of B and C. That's what I have.

Default Reports in a report

If you swap the positions of B and C in your picture. You have what I have. I
don't know that it matters which is B or C, but I created my first column
completely first, then I created the second column.

Let me give you a more precise idea of my report. I have subreports A-F in
the first column and G-K are in the second column presently (more will be
added later). All subreports have the same width, but different heights. A-F
all line up and are spaced perfectly apart. G's top is in line with A's top,
and H is spaced perfectly under G. A is longer than both G and H combined, so
it extends below H. I is where the problems begin. It is spaced about an inch
below H, and is not in line with the top or bottom of any report in the first
column. This odd positioning repeats for J and K.

Could I easily fix this by creating a seperate report (with subreports) for
each column then combine the columns into a final master report?

What difference does it make what the labels of the controls are? The names
could be Red, Green, Purple, and Yellow. There is an underlying rule here
about controls that Can Grow and how this might affect controls below even
if they are to the right or the left of the Can Grow control.

With your setup, almost any growing in either column will affect lower
subreports. If you don't want this, create two new subreports. Place A-F in
one subreport and G-K in the other. Then place these two subreports
side-by-side in a main report.

That's what I was thinking. I'll do that.

Thanks for all your help!
