RE: [MS_AccessPros] How to print 2 columns in a memo field (newspaper style)?

 

Tim,

When visiting our group site, drop down the "More v" and select "Files". The folder and file list will display. Click on the folder "1_Samples" to display this page http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MS_Access_Professionals/files/1_Samples. Scroll down to find the file.
