Here is the thread with the problem I mentioned in my previous message
Is it possible to design such report? Thread #1029807 Message #1029807

>I am generating a report that is a directory listing of people. Not hard at all. It is order by institution and then name, not full alpha. So, I need to know now to generate a index for this directory that can be printed at the end that lists all the people alpha by name and then page number they are on in the report. I figure can't just divide the record number by the number printed per page, because the number of people listed on each page could change. See, there is a group header that prints the institution information first (school name, school address, etc), and then prints all the members of that institution and contact info (name phone email) for each one. Because there is a different amount of members for each institution (from 1 to 30), there could be any number of group headers printed on each page, meaning there is not a set amount of people on each page, so I am pretty sure just dividing it to get the page number is not going to work. Also, if it makes a difference, the
>report is two columns wide. I have been fooling around with using Word and doing a merge but I can't do the group header that is needed. I then decided to import it into a vfp table and just create a report, but now I don't know now to make this index. Is there any way to do this?

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
