Cathy you are correct and this is what I first tried. The problem is with the grouping. Groups are nested and they encompass both bands. I only want the grouping of Project to apply to the first band and not the second band.

If there is any way to suppress the grouping on the second band then that is the ideal situation. I posted this last week (MESSAGE#1107114) and got no replies so I went on to this work around. All suggestions gratefully received. I am probably missing something simple.


>This is a perfect case for multiple detail bands. You eluded to giving this a try but I'm unclear on what you were trying say the problem was. Give this concept another try and if you still have problems with it, post the problem and maybe someone can help you fix it.

As long as you have a relation between the header and the items and another relation between the header and the summary, it should work just fine.
