>We need to add some detail lines to some invoice report summaries. These list the tax amount, discounts, etc. and then the total invoice amount. In the past we just created a memo field and a stretch text box. Now we are trying to use a 2nd detail band but what we came up with seems to be a real kludge. It appears that the only way you can get a 2nd detail band is if the table with the summary data is related to the 1st table. We did it but we have to do a print when on the heading, and all kinds of stuff to get it to work. Is there an easier way?
