how to split DETAILS row verticaly in Crystal Repo

问题:

I am trying to prepare a Crystal Report document. I have to split the document into two vertical panes. My document has 20 lines(10 on left pane,10 on right pane) to print like below

How can I split the document like below? I have tried to split the document by changing Secion Expert -> Details -> Layout. But it print first 10 rows in the first print, and the rest of the lines are printed on a new print.

Please give me an idea how to do this?

Alec was going the right way but he forgot about set up few more thing. On this picture you got all steps how to make it. Section expert of details then check Format with Multiple Columns and section Layout should appear. Click on Layout and enter value for width style (21cm / columns of your data)

Explanation: Crystal needs to know how much space you are giving him for each column (since A4 format is 29.7 x 21cm) then u put half of it (nearly 10 cm cuz of margins etc.) and then your columns should be separated.

NOTE : if u put 5cm for Detail size then u get 4 columns etc...

Hope it helps

In the section expert, under details there should be an option for "Format with Multiple Columns".

This will then make a 3rd "Layout" tab available as below, if you play around here you should be able to get the desired output.

EDIT

Another way is to duplicate the details section and underlay them. So records < 10 go on the original section, records >10 go on the underlayed section, messy but effective.
