Thank you Hilmar.

>I believe you can have two report variables; one that stores the value of the previous record, and the other that indicates whether you want to print or not. The second one would have to be evaluated first, so that it takes into account the previous value.

>>Yes I have set print repeated values to no. The problem here is that some repeated values, such as units per case in my example, may need to be printed because they belong to the next product even though they are have the same value for two consecutive products.

>>The following is the effect I am looking for. As you see I want to print the number of units per case whenever "Product" changes

>>Product 2          48            Labels                 48

>>As I mentioned before, in the printed report I accomplished that by storing TRAN(nUnitsPerCase) + ' ' + cProductName in the cursor and then making the report field narrow enough so only the units per case was printed. Since I now wish to use the frx both to print report and to send it to ExcelListener I have run into this problem.

>>>>Originally I solved this by appending the product name to the units per case and making the width of the field narrow enough so the appended name was not printed. Now I am offering the user the option of exporting the report to excel and naturally the appended product name goes along. The user is not asked the report destination until after all data is prepared, and that is done in a process that I prefer not to touch, so it is not really feasable to change the value in the cursor.
