Re: Reports: overflow of fields to sequential pages and not tiled pages

I haven't got Reports here, and it's been a while since I used the product, but it is most definitively possible. The way to go (as far as I remember well) is to split your query-results into groups (the boxes underneath each other in the data modeler or whatsitsname). Use embedded frames and Reports can handle this problem without a glitch!
