What's a repeater? I can't find anything on it.

repeaters are tables that contain cell information that display data for individual query items. Only list reports can be converted into repeater reports. They're often used to create mailing labels. I can't think of anything else that it might be good for......

You can also use repeater cells to control layout.

For example, a list has a bunch of records where the fields are spread out across the page horizontally. You can use a repeater to spread the fields vertically down the page instead.

Sometimes people like this sort of thing. ;-)
