Columns, columns, too many columns

[strauss.sean]

To all:

Here's an interesting one: I have a query that produces 56 (!!) columns
of data. The first three columns are "to repeat at left", as can be
selected in Excel at File --> Page Setup --> Sheet tab. That is, the
first page prints (say) 10 columns. The second page prints the first
three columns, and the next seven columns, and so on. Each page would
do this until all columns are printed.

Access gives a limit to the amount of width available on any given
page, so I don't know how to print this as an Access report. (I could
dump it into Excel, and pick it up from there; I kind of want to use
Access, at least for the moment.) Any other ideas?
Thanks a lot, and Happy Friday!!

2 stupid ideas

1) Is there no grouping possible. If 3 columns are repeated it sounds as
if these are group headers of some sort.
2) Does printing the TextBoxesVertically instead of horizontally any help
3) Is Everybody interested in ALL the data from 56 columns by however
many lines

I said I was stupid

Unsigned in case too many people agree

Kinda kludgy... but you could do it with a series of subreports.
Repeat the static columns in each of the subreports, with the "other"
columns and headers being variable between the subreports.
