I'm with Dennis. You need a temporary table. Leave the hours NULL when they do not match. This is about the only way to leave hours blank when they don't match up.

That is what I did. The report was designed in the view. I have one header 
which is the employee number. The Skills , Languages and Hours are in the 
detail section. What happens is is as follows as per my example.

This is what I expect on the printout

Skills                                        Languages

234
security officer                       Italian                                  
     300
mechanic                                                                        
         276
electrician
bartender

This is what I get

Skills                                        Languages                         
   Hours

Computer tech                       French                                     
234
security officer                       Italian                                  
     300
mechanic                                French                                  
  276
electrician                               Italian                               
      234

  300

Note the Languages and Hours repeat until there are 5 entries  which equals the 
number of entries in Skills

You would have to create a view and then base the report on the view.
Place a column for skills, language and volunteer work in the detail
section. Also set a break on employee number.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - report question in Version 6.5 for windows

I need some help .  I have a master table showing demographic info (i.e.
name address etc). I have another table showing skills of each member and
another table showing other languages spoken and a final table showing the
total hours volunteered  for each year.

I wanted to bring information on skills, languages, hours and some
demographic info into one report. The volunteer employee number is in all
tables. I created a view including all the tables. The report was designed
in Report Designer. I have the demographic info in a Header Section and
Skill, Languages, and Hours in columns in the Data Section. The problem I
have is one record may list 5 skills, 2 languages and 3 years of hours. When
the report prints, the 5 skills are listed and the languages listed are not
3 but 5 as some are repeated and 5 years of hours are also listed with
repetition  to make up 5 entries.

How do I get Skills, Languages and Hours to list unique values i.e. Skills
should list the 5 Skills,  Languages should list the 2 languages  and Hours
should list the 3 years of hours.

Appreciate any help.

Duncan
