Multi-column dot matrix report
I??m trying to create a dot matrix report with 2 columns in a master band and a 5 character gap between each column.
Each band have 2 lines of text. The first one is printed in normal text, and the second is printed in wide character. The problem is that the first line keep 5 chars gap, and the second line, wich is wide, also keep 5 chars gap. As the width of wide char is bigger the width of normal char, the second column is not printed the way it had to be.
How can I solve this problem? I tried to change the gap in code (OnBeforePrint), but doesn??t worked.

the problem ist that FR cannot handle multi-column component-positioning errorfree in a dmr-report. I added a Dummy-memo-field with no content with a width from start of the row to the field with the data, so fr can calculate the postion of the data correctly:
____________XDATAFIELDX
XDUMMYFIELDXDATAFIELDX
not really a big thing, but it works.
