Kelly,

One way to do this is it use create a variable (called nGroupCount in this example) and set it to zero before running the report, and to put _vfp.setvar("nGroupCount",nGroupCount) in the group headers on entry expression (double click on the group header's grey bar).

The downside of this method is that it does not work properly when previewing the report...the numbers get incremented too often.

Better way: Add a report variable called linesPerGroup, set it to calculate count, reset on your group in question. Add another report variable, called groupCount, set it to calculate sum, under value to store put iif(linesPerGroup = 1, 1, 0) , initial value 0, reset at end of report. If you want to put groupCount in the group header, you can put groupCount+1 in the expression to print.

If there is a way to do this reliably with only one report variable, I haven't been able to figure it out either (Garrett?)...
