Claudio,

The best way to make a report is to SELECT into a cursor. If you select carefully, you will be able to use the same report layout for both ways of showing the data. Try this:


SELECT SalesMan AS MyGroup, ;
SUM(ValueSold) AS Amount ;
FROM MyTable ;
INTO CURSOR MyReportCursor ;
GROUP BY 1 ;
ORDER BY 1

lcMyHeading = "Salesman"
REPORT FORM MyReport PREVIEW
*!* REPORT FORM MyReport TO PRINTER PROMPT NOCONSOLE

SELECT Payment AS MyGroup, ;
SUM(ValueSold) AS Amount ;
FROM MyTable ;
INTO CURSOR MyReportCursor ;
GROUP BY 1 ;
ORDER BY 1

lcMyHeading = "Payment Type"
REPORT FORM MyReport PREVIEW
*!* REPORT FORM MyReport TO PRINTER PROMPT NOCONSOLE


In your report, do not reference the fields as MyReportCursor.MyGroup, but simply MyGroup. This will work just fine if MyReportCursor is the current work area when you print, which it should be. It will also allow you to run the report off of any cursor with the appropriate data, no matter what it's name is.

In the report's page header, put the column headers as lcMyHeading and "Amount". Please note that you always want the second column to be headed "Amount" where the heading of the first column will vary depending on which way have added your ValueSold together. There are other ways to pass in a particular value to the report, but this is simple and will work. When previewing from the command window you may need to type lcMyHeading = "Payment Type", as the value of this variable is otherwise only available when running the code.

You can copy the items from the detail line to the report's summary band. Change the control for MyGroup (where the salesman's name goes) to "Summary", in the Amount control, select "Calculations" and click "Sum". This will automatically the sum over all values from the detail lines.

I hope this gets you started. Repost with any problems.
