I am just using the report generator to make the print formatting easier, I am not actually grouping data or anything in this report. add the data for the parent and child report would be contained in the one record in the table.



ie:

there will only be one parent record and possibly one child record per record in the table.

* print parent record
* if a certain condition is true now print the child record that would go with this parent record after it.
* if a certain other condition is true now print different child record (using a different report format).
* now go to the next parent record and print it and do it all over again.
