Matt,
I didn't mean OOP objects, I meant FRX objects. You can do this in 2.6 even. Place a report field in the detail band. Mark it to stretch and include as the expression ChldList(1). Add another below it for ChldList(2). Then create a function or PRG called ChldList that gets the numeric parameter and returns a formatted list of either child records for the current parent.
Down-side is you must use fixed-width fonts for these objects to get any columns to line up.
