report lay-out & reading data from txt-file

allrite folks, got some questions here...

1) LAY-OUT OF REPORTS
How is it possible to fundamentaly change the lay-out/form of a report in
access? I dont really know it that "difficult", but listen up;

Reports, the way I look at them, all present data downwards, in this way;

TITLE
data
data
SUBTITLE
data
data
SUB-SUBTITLE
data
data

is it possible to present the data "sideways", like this;

TITLE data data data data
SUBTITLE data data data data
S.S.TITLE data data data data

e.g. for making week-schedules and stuff??


2) READING DATA FROM A TXT FILE
Know this better in delphi... What component do I use if I want to load a
txt file into my app? How do I open a txt file and display it in the
component? How to read the text line by line, reading ONE character at a
time, and all the RIGHT$/LEFT$/MID$ functions would also come in handy
here...

Thanks !

Hi,

I am also trying to make a 'schedule like' report,
showing the dates down one side and the times of the day
accross the top. However, when using the crosstab query
I am unable to enter criteria to specify a range of dates
e.g. Between [Enter Start Date] And [Enter End Date]

Is this one of the limitations ? I really need to print
the report by week, so the date range is vital.

Any help would be appreciated
Regards
Samina
