I would like to create a page that when I search for a record and select it, I will be taken to a page that I can layout fields for printing a nice report. So far, I have the grid/search screen built but when I select a record, I go to a record maintenance screen.
Can someone tell me how I can build a simple field layout page for a report and go to that page for the record instead of a maintenance screen?

change the link parameters on your 1st grid - update the target to your new page and set any parameters to be passed

I don't know how to build a page in CCS that has fields for a report without them being text box fields that can be filled in. Can someone tell me how to just put data fields on a page?

use a grid builder - it creates labels not inout fields....
try the tutorials they are quite good...

The Grid Builder only gives me the option to build in columns across the page. I want something that looks like this:
Name = {last}, {first}
Address = {address}
Description = {descripition}
In other words, I want to be able to put fields anywhere on the page (columns, rows) with labels for the fields.
On this project, I am using CCS to input data from a paper form into a SQL database and I want them to have the ability to go back and search the database and print the record back to a usuable form.

did you try any of the tutorials?
what is to stop you moving some of the labels around?
right click the label - cut..... you get the idea...
ccs (and you) can do all the things you mention...

damian is right. we do this all the time. just use the builder to get everything you want on the page and then carefully move controls around on the page to get it organized like you want.

I'll give it a try but usually it breaks the page when I try to move things around and yes, I did look at the tutorials but didn't see anything specific to what I'm trying to accomplish.

Well I tried moving my LastName field out of the grid row and next to the word "Name:" that I created at the top and the word "Name:" appears but I do not get any results for the LastName field.

Figure 1 shows what CCS built for me.
Figure 2 shows the results after I moved fldAddress
a) put cursor to right of fldName and pressed shift-enter
b) dragged fldAddress to the new line under fldName
Figure 3 shows the result after I dragged all the fields into the desired positions, deleted the sorters and deleted the extra table columns.
NOTE: As I went through this example I first tried to simply delete the columns with the sorters still in place assuming CCS would "know" that deleting the column with the sorter means to also delete the sorter but that was not the case and my project failed. So I went back in and this time I deleted each sorter before deleting the columns and everything worked.
I am using version 4.01.00.06
