Excellent, that's what I was looking for.
Thanks, Edmund

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] Report Designer - Viewing Multiple Records
Report Designer is far more capable.usable than SDA/RLU.
You will notice above the design area there is there is the "Report controls".
- Select 'Design reports'.
- Optional: give your report a name
- On the 'Records' tab add all the records you want displayed, in the order that you want them written to the report. Note that you can add the same record multiple times to simulate a detail record.
If you get confused by SKIP/SPACE keywords, toggle on the 'Show skip and space text' toolbar button just above the design area. This will tell you which SKIP/SPACE keyword is responsible for putting your fields where they are. But even nicer is that you can just drag your fields where you want them, and we will figure out which SKIP/SPACE keywords to modify to position it as you have indicated.
Finally a WYSIWYG DDS report editor.
Enjoy. There is a lot of power here.

It's been ages since I've had to work with a print file (other than a tweak). Apparently I can't open it in SDA, so I suppose there isn't an existing functionality I'm looking to reproduce. I'll just have to run the program to see how things line up then (if what I'm asking for isn't available).

In SDA I can view multiple records at once (while only one is editable).
How do I do that in Report Designer?
Thanks,
Kurt
