Grandchildren are not directly supported in detail bands. However, you can trick the report designer by doing SQL JOINS of tables and using multiple detail band objects controled with PrintWhen conditions.

>Law firm...wants to print detail of a single client file. Here are the tables and their relationships:
>
>MainTable: Plaintiff, heading detail (name, date of birth etc; used to print in header area)
>
>--> ChildTable1: contacts on this file (multiple, related to main by File_ID)
>
>--> ChildTable2: annuities purchased for plaintiff; multiple; related to MainTable by File_ID
>
>-----> GrandChildTable1: who purchased each annuity (multiple litigants may have contributed to purchasing the annuity); related to ChildTable2 by Annuity_ID
>
>Results so far: I can get the info to print but the GrandChildren print *after* all of the ChildTable2 records whereas I would like the info to "interleave" in between each annuity e.g. (showing just the annuities):
>
>Annuity 1: Sun Life of Canada, Total Premium: $10,000.00
> ---> Crash Dummies Casualty Co, Contributed: $5,000.00
> ---> Total Wrecks Insurance Co., Contributed: $5,000.00
>
>Annuity2: The Manufacturers Insurance Co., Total Premium: xxx.xx
>etc.
>
>It could be that I am not putting in the right "target alias" for that expression (I have tried several). I am currently putting in "GrandChildTable1".

>Thanks for any help.
