Column Breaks in Crystal Reports
I have an existing Crystal Report 8.5 report that has multiple columns in it. I would like to be able to set column breaks in the report but I cannot see how you do that in Crystal.
Agree with Pete. You may be able to use subreports though depending on what it is you want to accomplish...

I might not have given enough details in my original explanation. The issue that I am having is with keeping grouped data together in a multi-column report. My report has four groupings (Name,Type, Provider, and Address). I would like my four groupings to render in the same column but what is happening is that on some records the Name and Type are orphaned at the bottom of one column while the Provider and Address are at the top of the next column. Is there anyway to keep the data together in one column.
I think that's a better explanation and we understand better what you want. Unfortunately I think the answer is still that you can't do it. AFAIK there's no way to control the multicolumn breaks...
I would agree with frodoman.
Have you tried using the KEEP TOGETHER options in the section format? They sometimes cause more problems than they solve and I don't know how they will react with columns.
Can you give a sample of what is wrong?

Here is a layout of the problem. I would like to keep all HOSPITAL data grouped together in a column. Single records per column are not desirable. Eliminating orphaned data is though.
Thanks,

I don't believe there is any facility to do this in CR.
