Re: Remove repeat section headers

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Duane

The fields all have equal importance there is a higher key field (JNum) but
as the report only relates to a single JNum it makes no odds. Looking again
the groups cannot help but keep restarting. I have realised that I don't
actually want it to group within the types but rather group the entire type1
2 3 or 4...ie just to show a new header when a type has (or has not) data.

If I remove the groups i get (which is the table layout)
header
TYPE1 TYPE2 TYPE3
type1
type1
type1
type2
type2
type3
type3
etc.

but I need to have a header (and footer) for each and mess with the
positions so that we get

Header
type1
type1
type1
Header
type2
type2
Header
type3
type3

I could just shove all the fields ontop of each other in the detail section
(uggh!) but that still leaves the header/footer problem.
No matter what settings I use for group it will not leave them in a chunk. I
need the group header/footer but not the grouping!

Could you provide the fields/expressions from your sorting and group
dialog?
You might only need to change their order.

My report groups data correctly but adds a new section header for each
different entry in the grouping field. I want it to display this header
once
and run all records in that group as detail. This should make it clear!

tbldata
record: type1(blank) type2(blank) type3(blank) type4(stuff)
record: type1(blank) type2(blank) type3(blank) type4(stuff)
record: type1(blank) type2(blank) type3(blank) type4(morestuff)
record: type1(otherstuff) type2(blank) type3(blank) type4(blank)
record: type1(moreotherstuff) type2(blank) type3(blank) type4(blank)

report looks like this.....

type4 section header
type4(stuff)
type4(stuff)

type4 section header
type4(morestuff)

type1 section header
type1(otherstuff)

type1 section header
type1(moreotherstuff)

so within the grouping every time the data changes in my groupby field I
get
a new header. Just the one PLEASE! Can I code this out? or do I have to
add
a field to my table to specify what type a particular record is...surely
not?

Any help much appreciated
