Ian,
Great you have managed to make two detailbands with a box. However the result is not as I require :(
data from field cdag8 and cdag1 are now showing in the same box.
I would like to see:
1) detail band 1 with a box around the textfields group fields cdag1 ~ cdag7
2) detail band2 without a box just a fields with data from field cdag8
presently fields cdag1 ~cdag8 all reside in one and the same cursor, but the could esily be split over two cursors, only there will not be a realtion between these 2 cursors.
I am about to abandon the construction and will now create 2 reports one for detailband1 with boxes etc and one for the detailband2. Than join those two reports to one. I believe that will be the best solution for this (painstacking) problem, unliess somebody gives me a better hint.
Regards,
Koen
