Anything that you want to print in the group header you put at the top of the detail band and set the print when to llGroupChanged and set remove line if blank. Anything you want in group footer you put at the bottom of the detail band and set it the same way.


Jim,

I tried this, but what I can't figure out now is how to force a new page when the group changes. Is there a way to do that with your method?
