Peter, There are no "Print When" options for the Detail Bands.
Option two is exactly what I'm trying to work around by utilizing the multiple Detail Bands introduced in 9.0. Cathy shows, almost, the exact scenario I'm facing ... the only exception is that "Table 3" doesn't have any sales for some products. The original report was done in 2.6 "Long Hand" i.e. PROW(), etc. (800 Lines of code --- I don't want to know how many hours the guy spent getting that lined up, been there, done that, 20 years ago!) The client isn't concerned with the headers being in there, I just think it looks like $#!!.<grin> Best, Francis I.

If so could you put in there !eof("File3") Another option might be to select out the data into 1 table/cursor but use an inner join. Then you won't get any records where there is a blank for file 3 Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- This communication and the information it contains is intended for the person or organisation to whom it is addressed.Its contents are confidential and may be protected in law.
