In short: put the check in the group header, then create a detail group on checknum + stub that prints in the detail line. I assume that all of the totals will have to be pre-calculated and the stub heading will have to be contained in the detail data for the stub. Is this correct or am I off base?


No, actually, in VFP 9, you could put the check in one detail band and the stubs in one or more additional detail bands, after the check-printing band. You would need to use the driving alias as your target alias in each band, and group on RECNO() if you are printing multiple checks at once.

As far any "pre-calc" you need, that's pretty simple, you just need another detail band *before* the check-printing band, which does the calcs. Stick/calculate your results in report variables that are reset on that first band, and the full calc results are available to every band, starting with the footer of that band, in the group...
