Victor - off hand I would think that you would want to implement a two-level report starting in the first panel. I assume you have a link between the first and second panels. In the two level report header I'd pull in the name of the book and using an RV go through the link and grab the name/number of the chapter. It will always grab the first chapter assuming that the link is constructed that way.
Then in the two-level subreport do a report for each chapter calling out the chapter number and title. Use an RV to skip any record in that part of the report that reads "chapter 1" so that it won't repeat itself. I find answering these questions in the abstract difficult but solving the problems easy. If this doesn't solve the problem in a way that works for you and you understand feel free to zip of a copy of the database and send it over to me and I'll write a report doing what you want that you can examine and use or simply use.
