1. Select File | Page Setup from the Report Designer main menu.

2 Select the Layout tab.

3. Click the Up Arrow button located to the right of the Columns edit box. This should modify the number of columns from 1 to 2.

4. Click the OK button.

5. Right-click over the line component at the top of the detail band and set the ParentWidth property to True.

Note: When using the Component popup menus, a checkmark next to a menu option indicates the property is set to True. Selecting the menu option toggles the property from Checked to Unchecked (i.e. True to False) and vice-versa.

6. Preview the report again. You should see two columns.

Note: Quite often, you will want to use the Report Wizard to layout a report and then customize the report layout further using the Report Designer.
