>>I have a report that is grouped by account #. For each account, there are multiple financial records. In the summary I want to print how many accounts were printed (i.e. - how many groups), not how many records. The report is coming from a single file - each record has the account # and financial info. Is there any way to do this in the Report Designer?

Yeah, that's much smoother and retains the idea at least of OOP.
I've asked a few people this question. I was curious. I've set
up a report with a parent and child relation. If the group footer
is forced to another page because of the number of children on
the preceding page, the group header info is always wrong. It
is always pointing to the following record.
