>>>I have a weekly report that details the products ordered for each day. The data is sorted by date, customer, product number. There is a footer for customer and date. But in the date footer, I want a count of the number of unique customers for that day. How can I do this?

>>How is your data presented? This may be too complicated, but that's first what comes to my mind:
>>
>>local lnCustomers
>>lnCustomers = 0
>>REPORT FORM myReport ...
>>
>>
>>
>>OnEntry _VFP.SetVar('lnCustomers', 0)
>>Date - group header
>> Customer group header
>> Details
>> Customer group footer
>> onExit function _VFP.SetVar('lnCustomers', m.lnCustomers + 1)
>>Date group footer
