Print records in Column - Array as record datasource
I need to fill out a preprinted deposit slip where the checks are printed in columns, i.e.
001 9999.99 004 6666.66 007 3333.33
002 8888.88 005 5555.55
003 7777.77 006 4444.44
My data comes from a query containing <CheckNumber> and <CheckAmount>
I thought I could create a report, populate an array with the check info then use that array as the
report datasource but haven't been able to make that work.
Is there a better way to go about this? I'm posting this as urgent because I'm at the customers site now and I really need to solve this fast.

In the report, go to File, Page Setup, the columns tab. Set up the columns as you need. Make sure can grow and can Think are off for the section.
can Think = can shink
Use the query as the recordsource of the report, then set up the report to use columns (down then across) - why do you think you should need to use an array?
Go into Page setup, then choose columns and it is fairly self evident how to set it up

Hey Nelson - good to see you :-)
Enjoy the break?
(Even I've had a week off lately - from EE anyway... yes some beer was involved :-S)

Ok, I see I wasn't specific enough about what I needed. The preprinted deposit slips are designed for Quickbooks, in addition to the checks I have the record the cash deposit and total as shown below. Columns would work if it wasn't for the additional info. Also, only the first 13 checks print on the front but the totals have to include all
Harfang, I'll try using unbound controls, that's sounds like what I was trying to do with the array datasource, just a little more of a pain.
CASH 9.99
001 9999.99 004 6666.66 007 3333.33
002 8888.88 005 5555.55 Subtotal 99999.99
003 7777.77 006 4444.44 Less Cash 99999.99
TOTAL 99999.99

Hello cmccurdy
The initial CASH and the TOTAL could be managed easily. The positioning of "Subtotal" and "Less Cash" is troublesome. I don't see how to handle them using a columnar report...
Access forms do not have control arrays, like VB, so you have to simulate them. Use names like txtCN0, txtCN2, ... txtCN12, and txtCA0, ... txtCA12. Used in a loop, you could then
Set rec = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("q
Do Until rec.EOF
If rec.AbsolutePosition > 12 Then Exit Do
Me("txtCN" & rec.AbsolutePosition) = rec!CheckNumber
Me("txtCA" & rec.AbsolutePosition) = rec!CheckAmount
rec.MoveNext
Loop
But perhaps you knew that already.

Unbound controls filled using VBA worked. A bit cumbersome, but workable give the short amount of time I have to solve this one today. Thanks for the help!
Well done! and have a nice week-end now!
