Thanks, I have gone for the "quick and dirty" fix - I have added empty TQRSubDetail bands (height = 1 pixel) Each TQRBand (type: rbGroupHeader) has a TQRSubDetail (some are empty) attached. This seems to work - it forces all groups to print (no double-ups) and I can force the order by setting up the creation order. - Setting up the creation order is a pain, it requires shifting the objects in the DFM (view as text - cut & paste).
The example was only about 1/4 of the report - part of the problem is that the report (written ages ago, and I am converting from QuickReports 1 => 3) can have Band visibility turned on/off according to values of data and user configurable parameters (security, job requirements, etc.).
