Location: Pembroke Pines, FL (USA)              Okay, so I've got my report 
running.  Now, I'm trying to figure out how to use the GroupHeader feature.  My 
data looks something like this:

12m, 1, ItemName
12m, 2, ItemName
1a, 1, ItemName
1a, 2, ItemName
1a, 3, ItemName
2a, 1, ItemName
3a, 1, ItemName
3a, 2, ItemName

I have created a GroupHeader and put a ReportField called "Hour"
In the Body of the report I have 2 ReportFields, 1 for the Item # and the other 
for the Item name

How do I group all of the 12m items together under a header of "12" then in the 
body the item # and name (which varies from hour to hour).

Right now, my report is only printing one GroupHeader with all of the records 
listed instead of being grouped under the hour as it changes.  

How do I do this?

And one more question, how can I set a report date?  I've tried 
rpt.lblReportDate.Text = reportDate.LongDate but I get an error message saying 
this method/property doesn't exist - and yes, I do have a reportlabel control 
called "lblReportDate" in my header section.  

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Location: Canada, Alberta, Near Red Deer              create a group section
select the group section and set the group by field - use the name of whatever 
the column holding the "12m", "1a" column is
place that same field on the group section
implement it's before print event so you can take the 12m and make it appear as 
12 etc

you can "group by" something that does not appear on the report  in a label or 
field
