Hi All,

Is there any online resource available for learning how to do this?

Yes. It's a newsgroup called
microsoft.public.access.reports

If you have a question ask it here.
The more specific your question the more specific the answer.
 
Hi Bill,

you can specify up to 10 levels of Sorting (and Grouping) in
a report -- that is one of the most powerful abilities of a
report

if you want subtotals or other reporting on grouped levels,
turn on the group header and/or footer (Group Header and/or
Group Footer --> Yes)

the best thing to do is just to experiment! Use the report
wizard to create some reports for you and LOOK at what it
creates in the sections and in the sorting/grouping window
from the report design

and, despite how simple it seems, you can read the Help in
Access -- it really is quite good

another thing you can do is turn on the sorting & grouing
window, click in a property (ie: Group Header) and press the
F1 key to get context-specific help

when you find something that pertains to what you are
looking for, click the blue "See Also" link in the upper
left and read related topics

beyond that, as Fred said, ask specific questions in the
newsgroup -- we are happy to help you

Warm Regards,
Crystal
