"End of column event"?

[Bill]

Is there an event that fires when the current
column of a multi-column'd Detail Section
has filled?

I have a landscape report comprised of four
columns and would like to give control to
a sub-routine after each column has filled and
is either ready to fill the next column or has
completed the current page.

Any ideas?

Bill

No such event. However, the detail section's Format event
proceduer can use Me.Left and Me.Top to get the detail
section's location on the page. You can use that with some
(tricky?) code and calculations to determine the detail's
column and if it is at the top of a column.

Excellent! Being known for some levels of trickery,
I will do a few experiments to fine tune the code to
recognize when I've moved from one column to the
next.

Thanks,
Bill
