Re: fields are missing when I try to select them as a Group Level

Try changing it to a Text field (size = 255.)

Hi,

I am trying to group on a memo field, but it is a memo field because that
field contains all of the user defined variables in our database and they can
be anything, but the only ones I am using to group by are the page numbers of
our catalog which will be from page 4 to page 31, so truncating is not a
problem.
Can it be done?

Not a good idea. Even if you can get it work, it will probably truncate to
255-characters.
