Multiple Columns in Detail

I have a report with 3 levels of grouping. StudentID, Teacher Name, and Date.

I want the Student ID and Teacher Name in 1 column, but would like to get
the date, in the detail group, to be 2 columns. I was looking in the page
setup, columns portion, but I can't see where it will allow me to just set
the columns for the detail section. Anyone willing to help.

THe Page Setup applies to everything except the report/page
header/footer sections so ther is no way to specify what you
want using a built-in mechanism.

To do what you want, you have to separate the detail data
from the studen and teacher data. Then create a subreport
for the date data, using the appropriate student and or
teacher fields in the subreport control's Link Child/Master
properties.

This allows you to set the subreport's Page Setup to
multiple columns without affecting the layout of the main
report.
