Hi there,

I have a page 8.1 inches with margins .2 inches all around. I have also tried with 8 inch page.

Second column will not work. I have tried 8" page, 7" page, no margins, 1" margins, etc. Whatever I do it does not work. I have also tried removing the header and that did nothing. I have attached a pic of what it looks like in PP mode.

Here is my report:

Hi Garrett,

We have reviewed the report definition and noticed that the report width is 8 inch. In order to set up correctly the multicolumn report you have to re-size the report to match the desired width of the columns. You can do this visually or by setting the Width property of the report in the Properties window.

For more information check out the How to: Create a Multi-Column Report help article. Additionally you may find useful our Product Tag demo report that came with your Telerik Reporting installation

Regards,
Peter

Have you tried the new visualization options in Telerik Reporting Q2 2013? You can get them from your account.

Hi Peter,

sorry for the late reply.

I have tried setting the report at various widths. The column is set to 4 inches wide, if I set the report to 8.1 with left and right margins of .2 to total 8.5 there is still only 1 column on the screen when there should be 2 columns with an extra .1 of space on the side (since there is no space between the columns).
