>You see, right now, as you suggested, the report can be created without multiple detail bands. But I need to enhance the report and to add another table. Therefore, I will truly have a case for multiple-detail band. Here is what I have and will have:

As I suspected the NEXT 1 is what causes the problem. That is, VFP "executes" this command "NETX 1" not only for the cursor used for detail 1 band but for any other detail band. Therefore, only one record is printed for every cursor and every band. I changed the REPORT FORM not to use NEXT 1 and all seem to work fine.
