Define a first break [Break0] on the first column to sort on your report detail band. (Did you know that you can use breaks for built-in report sorts?) 02. Then, make sure to check the option for: [x] Keep break together Technically, that should keep the data together! Hope that helps! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
