Reports - sorting and grouping

[Kathy Kohagen]

I want to have my report print a certain number of lines
grouped together. Currently, I only can figure out how to
group the lines together by a certain value or by the
prefix.

I'm currently switching to Access from Paradox and in
Paradox,you could do this in group band, group by record
number.

The purpose of grouping a certain number of lines together
is for readability. If you have the pattern of 10 lines
of type followed by an empty line (so to speak),it's
easier to read than just 50 uninterrupted lines of type.

Thank you.

The article explains how to manipulate the Format event of the Detail
section of the report to achieve what you want.
