Thanks for replying, Stingray. That at least points me toward something I might be able to use. I'll do some WHEN searching and see if that'll get me to where I want to be.

Thanks again.

ON PROJECT_ID SUBHEAD
" <+0> "
"PROJECT:<+0> WHEN PROJECT_ID NE 'SOMPJ' ;

the WHEN on subheads/foots (feet?) aren't the usual WHEN=, they're a wee bit different and must be alone on the last line.

and/or artificial sortfields.

susannah and Ginny,

Thanks for replying, however I don't understnad your replies at all. Can you expand a little?

Thanks!

I think Susannah was intimating that you can have a multi-line subhead where you can put the detail stuff in below the group stuff but I'll let her explaine that.

As for my suggestion, a subhead is done on a sortfield. Let's say, using Susannah's sortfield of PROJECT, that would be your big group. You could then create a dummy sortfield under project, call it SUBPROJ/I2 and set it to a constant number. Or you might have to adjust it according to your data. Then after the BY PROJECT SUBHEAD, you do a BY SUBPROJ NOPRINT then ON SUBPROJ SUBHEAD.

It would be easier if you gave us a data example.

Hi, Ginny

Gotcha! Yes, that's correct - multiple subheads, somewhat like Person's name, then followed by a subhead of account number, then followed by subhead of activity, and then by details. That's what I'm interested in, since some of our employees charge their work to various account numbers, at various pay rates. Right now, my report looks way too full, with repeating info on the detail lines. I'm looking for improved readability.

Thanks again.
