I want to design a report that will have details in 3 columns, i.e first record on one column, the next record on the next column and so on.

Hi
That is not possible in crystal report. u can do only separating columns by fields. Not only in Crystal report, even Data Report have never got this feature.

It is very difficult to achieve. You can sometimes get it to work using cross-tabs but you are very limited. I have managed to achieve ok results but only after many hours of messing around. Another possible technique is using sub reports but again it is rather horrible.
I need to know more about the type of data you are working with before i can assist anymore

In the Section Expert, select the Details section.
Check Format with Multiple Columns.
In the Layout dialog set your Widths and Gaps - you will probably have to experiment with the settings.
Select Printing Direction to be "Across then Down".

I hope that works for you.
