That could be an option in VFP9 where multiple bands exists, but in VFP8 I had to resort to 'dummy' grouping. That's why my memo field is in the Group Footer band. And in this band, I can't display multiple records.

That's what I did for that particular report, but I want my report to be more robust for the future.
