This is an addition to Thread #382617.

I found that setting Print Order Left to rigth (Horizontal) gives an extra space at the start of each group.

I wonder if anyone else was noticed this. If so did you solve it somehow (by hacking the FRX??) or if it is a known bug...

I have found out more info and hope to solve this problem.

This can be duplicated by creating a table
1) create table mytable (col1 c(20))

2) Insert records as follows:
append blank
replace col1 with "A"
append blank
replace col1 with "A"
append blank
replace col1 with "B"
append blank
replace col1 with "B"

2) Then create a report...
CREATE REPORT

-data grouping: set to column mytable.col1
-Add 1 field in the detail band with expression=mytable.col1
-Shrink all of the "bands" down to the correct size...
-File-Page Setup: 2 Columns,Print Order Left to rigth ....

3) Now here's the problem.
If you do print order and records wrap from left to rigth (horizontal)
you will get an empty space at the start of each group.

If you do it from column to column (vertical) it works fine no space...

I have noticed this and was trying to solve this problem in a previous post but now I can duplicate with this simple report.

I think it's a bug!?

Anyone else see what I mean???
