[MSAccessProfessionals] HELLO AND HELP!

Gday to all,

 

MicroSoft often leaves me with the words of Mark Twain:

 

 

UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, PROFANITY PROVIDES A RELIEF DENIED IN PRAYER

 

So it is, yet again. Im running WIN11 with Office 365, ACCESS ver. 2007-2016 [paid for by the year]

 

I know how to get a REPORT started... all I need to die happy is, learn how to make a REPORT, "report" my data in alphabetical order — as it appears in the table — HOW ACCESS decides on the order of each record, slays me — and how to make the Report Wizard NOT include "TITLE", each time a record is printed. I tried & errored myself into figuring column width, number of columns, etc.

 

I want to print-out a list of movie titles, in what MS used to call snaking columns, having finally caught-on-to the new nomenclature "Columnar" despite the "look" of TABULAR, in the wizard, representing what I want.

 

My ACCESS Dummies book has been less than useful, especially since, ripping-out pages in wild, maniacal frenzy, then hurtling the book against a wall. As Woody Leonhard — beta tester since 1.1 — has assured us, the best we can do, is think of ourselves as victims.

 

Thanks for all your time & guidance.

 

Phil
