The detail band is definately designed to be one record per horiztonal row. Therefore, it doesn't accommodate what you are trying to do which is spread some information from one record across several detail rows. The only way I can think of to do what you want is to preprocess the data and fudge it. Start by adding all your detail records as usual, except add a new character field for the shipping info. Then for each invoice, use ALINES to chop the memo field up into separate lines. Loop through the array, writing each row of the array to the next detail line for the invoice. If you run out of detail lines before the array is done, add extra dummy lines to the cursor until the entire array is used up.
