(Number, Name, Address, Itemnr_1, Itemnr_2,..., Itemv_1, Itemv_2,... are dBase-fields.) MemberNr Member-information Items Values ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Number Name Itemnr_1 Itemv_1 Address Itemnr_2 Itemv_2 Itemnr_3 Itemv_3 Number Name Itemnr_1 and so on I have managed to get the fields Name and Address in their right places by writing 'Name+Address' in the Contents-box for this column and keeping the width-value the same as the width of the Name field. This causes the Address to be printed on the next row. The problem is now that I cannot use the same trick with 'Itemnr... and Itemv...' since these are numbers. And I cannot change the type to character because I want to be able to calculate using these fields. My questions are: Is there another way to force fields to be printed in columns beneath on another as in the example above ? How about fields with numbers ? Suggestions for share-ware programs that can make lists or reports using dbase- files....
