Hi Craig,

I am going to guess that you mean to "denormalize" the child - grandchild table so that the "header" info from the child table is repeated for each grandchild record - and then I supress repeated values of the child info so that the child info only prints once?

>>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):
