Don
Thank for the response. I think I understand how to run sub report to
collect the names eg declare RV at top of report, then in body of
subreports, repeat RV number with RV1+P1F1, but I am having difficulty
understanding how to print out the RV using cat.t or otherwise.
Further help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Victor - at first glance it seems to me that you could accomplish your
first objective by "building" (for the lack of a better term) an RV
that each time it dipped down into the subreport added the next last
name to what was already collected. The RV would have to start out
blank (obviously) and then probably add through a cat.t formula the
last name plus a space or other separator and then be printed out once
you've left the subreport. I would expect that the printing takes
place at the end of the report so then you'd insert the RV into the
paragraph.
Got that? I haven't had coffee yet so I hope I'm being clear.

I would like to know whether the following are possible in a DP
report
using a subreport:
1. If the subreport prints a field (such as last name field) is it
possible to avoid each instance of the last name being following by a
carriage return (ie each instance of the subreport). So that
instead of
printing, eg
Smith
Jones
Adams
Can it print
Smith Jones Adams?
2. When the subreport ends is it possible to avoid the last thing
in the
subreport having a carriage return, so that instead of having
[in subreport]Smith has sold 29 units of the product
[in main report]and would now like to sell you some more
Can it print
[in subreport]Smith has sold 29 units of the product [in main
report]and
would now like to sell you some more?
I have seen Ralph Alvy's book (on Subreports: going from version
2.2. to
2.3, pages 230-231) about needing to insert carriage returns. As
far as
i can tell I have deleted all that are possible to delete, but I
cannot
achieve what I want. (Alternatively, if the str file is exported to a
ste and the carriage returns are deleted and then imported back, would
that deal with the above?)
Help with these would be greatly appreciated.
