Changing details layout for a multi column report

[Former Member]

I have a report that contains linked 2 subreports. The report has a details layout width of 2.5 inches which will create a 3 column report (Format groups with multiple columns is checked) . This works fine for my first subreport as it is small enough to fit that width. However that isn't enough room for my second sub report. Ii need to change the details layout width from 2.5 inches to 3.5 for a 2 column report then back again when that section is finished. Is this possible?

i believe you can depends on where you place you subreports

insert a 2nd group under the first, place 2nd report in the new details section

in the section expert next to the details section check off underlay.

this will lay them out next to each other but grow independetly

No one can say if this is possible or not?
