Returns or sets the number of detail columns.
layout.Columns[ = value As Long ]
Use this property to create multi-column reports.
In multi-column reports, header and footer sections span the full width of the report. Only the detail section is rendered in multiple columns. Use the Width property to specify the width of each column, and the ColumnLayout property to specify whether columns should be laid out across the page or down the page.
Multi-column reports are useful for printing reports on mailing labels and other types of multi-column pre-printed forms. They are also useful for creating compact reports where detail information is laid out across the page.
