change grouping on the fly



I have a number of reports (25) that show agent activity for a specified
reporting period. We are trying to setup these reports so that they can be
printed as a company whole, OR grouped by office. The office name is one of
the fields passed in the query.

As far as I can tell, there are two ways to do this:

1. Create a duplicate of every report (formatted with office grouping) so
that either the Company report version is opened OR the Office-grouped
report is opened
2. Create VB code so that when a report is opened, it is formatted on the
fly with Office grouping.

Option 1 would end up creating a LOT of extra work to maintain because
whenever a report has a field edited or added, we must make all of the same
changes to the grouped report as well
Option 2 seems easier to maintain, but might be much more complicated to
setup.

Does anyone have a thought of either how to do this or whether Option1 or
Option 2 is a better solution?
