JMO, but 106 data grouping levels sounds like you may need to rethink how your data is organized for the report. Remember that you can use VFP functions to manipulate string and values inside groupings. Perhaps you could use that to reduce the data groupings. That is A LOT of data groupings to manage in a report writer anyway. I can hardly ever remember using more than 4-5 groupings max.

Good luck.
