Is there a way to display portals rows horizontal instead of vertical?

Never mind, found it. Using the format Initial row option.

Can someone explain to me what he means by the 'format initial row' option? Here's what I'm trying to do, this needent be done via portals I guess. Using a many to many relationship to display author names for a book. A book can have many authors and authors can have many books. The relationship then is between Books and Authors using a join table called Books_to_Authors. Now, from a report standpoint I need to be able to concatinate the author's names rather than list them like a normal portal. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bryan

I just sorted this one for us:

for each column, I created a portal with just one row and specified the starting "initial row", eg first column, initial row is 1, second column, initial row is 2...

This works for us because I know the maximum number of portal records I am dealing with (I don't need to scroll)
