i have a multi page report and i want to reduce paper waste by splitting ONLY
the detail section of my report in two columns. except from page header i
have three more headers following below so if i uncheck the same as detail
option on page setup i cannot solve my problem.

my detail section contains the fields "cross" and "reference". it is a very
complex report so i would like to avoid inserting subreport. my goal is to
have access create automatically two columns for my data since data are
grouped by "code" and my report prints data for 15000 codes.

To get 2 columns, you really should use a subreport.

The only other thing I can think of is to try to cram the
cross and reference fields into a single string using the
Concatenate function available at:
