Ok, let's see if I can explain this.
I have a report that can have up to 12 headings, in some cases I wish only to use 6 of the 12 headings.
I could create a additional report for just the 6 headings them I would need to create a report for when I use 7 headings and on up to the max of 12.
I'm wondering if there is a way to use a single report for all the different reports.
I've used the report format to set those columns I don't want to visible = false and that seems to work I have to also move columns around so there isn't a large space left if I eliminate say headings 7 - 12 as there is a total column at the end.
Just wondering is there is a better way.
Just thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks

TBF Tom, that sounds exactly what I would have recommended. Remember, what you're talking about isn't a common or simple idea particularly. Some code to take a number of columns and, from that, set up the .Width, .Left & .Visible properties for each column would make good sense.
If you really get stuck, I use a pretty complex routine which changes the captions and visibility of labels on forms and reports.
I don't intend to go into too much detail as it is too complex to be dealt with on this website, but the basis is a table that holds the names of the forms and reports to be "messed around with" the relevant control names, the control's visibility and alternative captions. 
It does not re-position the controls, but that is just a couple of extra field in the table.
At the moment, the reports are "redesigned " depending on the company using them.
You don't explain what affects which headings you want to change.
Phil
Thanks for the reply, I pretty much am doing just what you say, but was hoping there might be an easier way.
Thanks again.

@Tom.
You must know by now that adding new questions to an existing thread is neither allowed nor a good idea. I've moved your new question to a new thread ( Extra Page in Report).
Thank you will try and remember that.

Hi all
Help please.
I would like to automate the printing of a report.
The report actually is a single page and prints a label. I would like to be
able to print the report multiple times based on the value of the items
field.
I have a command button which opens the report in the print option. This
works fine when there is only 1 item.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
