When you state that you have "multiple columns of data" do you mean multiple
fields arranged in columns or do you mean that you are using the
Multi-column options in Page Setup of the report?

Using the "newspaper columns" option in page setup will produce a different
effect because the detail section is not only repeated in horizontal bands
but also snaked into columns and the background WILL have some margin
separation between those columns.
