Hi Ted,

Yeah, I already googled yesterday and reviewed this one: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms965281.aspx#vfp9inactn_topic2

I'll review the others.

I like the idea of multiple detail bands, but I still feel pain when I see SET RELATION. Again, VFP6 days using buffered direct VFP DBC tables on a Novell network. Maybe not Fox's bad, but still a painful memory nonetheless. Switched over to local views (after getting good tips from here) and never looked back....until now (for multiple detail band reporting).

Thanks,
--Mike

Have you tried:

Looks like some useful stuff there.

I have a need to use the "new" (lol) multiple detail band feature in the
"new" VFP9 Report Writer.  Honestly, I had a bad experience with SET
RELATION back in the VFP6 days, and once I changed from direct table
mappings in the app to Local Views, I happily dumped SET RELATION.

This app has a hierarchy like this:
 Job
 --Items
 --Fees

I want to create a report that uses one detail band for the Items, and one
detail band for the Fees.

Has anyone done this successfully and have any tips?  Wanted to tap
someone's positive experiences with it. (Typically, I always created a
single flat file for reporting.)

tia,
