Looks pretty easy from my point of view Parent child relationship. Parent has row 1 and unlimited kids row 2 +
Your report will have a group by condition for the row 1 to change. Detail holds data that is rows 2 +.

>My report starts with one row of detailed information from my record in my table. But after the first row, all bets are off.

>My next report section contains a group of 3 rows of detail information from another table and the 3 records in that table.
>I can have up to 7 groups of 3 records each.

>Here is my report visually -

>Row 1 xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx

>Row 2 111111 111111 111111
>Row 3 222222 222222 222222
>Row 4 333333 333333 333333

>Row 5 444444 444444 444444
>Row 6 555555 555555 555555
>Row 7 666666 666666 666666

>and so on... up to row 22. But if I don't have data after a certain row I want to move the next detail line up so I don't waste paper.

>Do I have to put the groups of 3 detail records in a group level and repeat the group level multiple times depending upon how many groups of 3 I have that match the Row 1 detail record on one field? Or what is the best way to do this?

>This is also complicated by the fact that I have to translate most of the codes in the fields from codes to text/verbage using LEFT JOINs in my SELECTs that build my CURSORs.
