My program uses crystal report (buddled with vb5) to print out a hard copy of computer generated receipt. My point is how can I split the Details Section into 2 ?

Let say, a record of receipt consists of
Recepit No, Name, Course, Payment fields in general, I use computer paper to print out the receipt, I found that the width of paper can be filled up with 2 records, for an example

Receipt No: 0000001 Receipt No: 0000002
Name: John Name: Waye
Course: Win98 Course: Access
Payment: Cash Payment: Cheque



How to do with the setting in Crystal report so that I can print out the receipt as Shown above ?I can only generate the same record within the Details Section no matter how many Receipt No is inserted into the section. Like the following,
Receipt No: 0000001 Receipt No: 0000001
Name: John Name: John
Course: Win98 Course: Win98
Payment: Cash Payment: Cash

Hi,
If you will have a column in database with autonumber, then in formula field of crystal report you can check if divisible by 2 then place in one column else place in other column.for each field two formula field is required.For second case just insert database fields once again.Please let me know the responce
Thanks
