Problems with Multi-column and Footers

I have a multi-column report that I had working fine as of Friday night. It
is basically a two-column report of bar-codes to be read by a scanner, with
some identifying information under each entry.
I then added a Header that picked up a data field using the recommended
method I found in one other entry -- basically, refer to a field on the page
rather than a data base field -- that worked fine, and put a nice header all
of the way across the top of each page.
I then told it to add a footer that had static information across the bottom
of the page. Once I did that, it would no longer print the right
hand-column. It continued to print the header across the top of the page,
the data, all in the left-hand column (on three pages), and the footer
across the complete bottom of each page.
However, try as I might, I was never able to get it to print the barcode in
multiple columns.

walt.crosby@.everydaywireless.comAfter reading McGraw-Hill/Osborne's Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting
Services by Brian Larson, I discovered that I was using the wrong body
format. I was using Table when I should have used List. Once I changed my
data type to List, everything worked fine.
I also had gone overboard on making solid outlines around each of the items
in the list. Once I reduced the number of outlines, everything cleaned up.
