>I have a group that is all the records in a table.which are a Depth and a lithological description. I created a variable to store the depth because I want the previous depth in each group
> 10 - 20 where 10 is the previous depth and 20 is the current. The problem that I am having is printing out the previous depth before the variable resets to the current depth. if this makes sence to anybody please help.. thanks.

Create 2 variables (in this order in variables' list):
MyVar2
Value to store: MyVar2
Initial value: MyVar1

MyVar1
Value to store: MyVar1
Initial value: Depth

Reset (for both): Depth

You can also use an UDF in the Group Footer.
