Hi Marshal,

I have no good idea how to solve your problem inside the report. But it can be done outside.

Example:

SELECT;
 Cur1.*,;
 CAST(0 AS I) as iExtra;
 FROM CursorToPrint
 INTO CURSOR curHelp READWRITE

LOCATE
lvGroup = FieldToGrpoup
SCAN
 IF ! lvGroup=FieldToGrpoup THEN
  *Group changed
  *alter field iExtra
 ENDIF
ENDSCAN

REPORT FORM ....

This give you control outside the wonders of report engine.
