>To make a long story short. We have a table that requires records to be subtotaled and printed twice and in different order on the report using two different sorting criteria to make two different columns. Something like this:

John & Tom,
The simplest method would be to make a cursor that has both debit and credit information, although with separate rows for each. Either use a UNION in a single SQL-Select or make 2 cursors and append one to the other. Each row would have both Debit and Credit fields, but either Debit or Credit would be empty ($0). Order the resulting table by first debit then credit. It may be simplest to have a field for this purpose. Finally, use the Print When on the Debit and Credit fields to tell the report when to print it.

Sample:
Select ACNum, Description, Debit, 00000.00 as CREDIT, '1' as DCOrder;
   from DebitTable where InvNum = '1000';
   UNION SELECT ACNum, Description, 00000.00 as DEBIT, Credit, '2' as DCOrder;
   from CreditTable;
   WHERE InvNum = '1000';
   INTO cursor ReportTemp order by 5

Note that the cursor has all debit items first, then all credit items.
