Shawn, My principal problem is to avoid repeating the "grouped" column item on every detail line on the resulting web page. I only want it to appear on the first line and list details below it. Can you explain how the "group by clause" can help with this formatting?

Why not do it in the SQL itself using a "group by" clause? I used to resist database logic too and attempted to do everything in my own programs, but it's often easier to get the database to manage your data for you. -- Shawn Bayern Author, "JSP Standard Tag Library" http://www.jstlbook.com (coming this summer from Manning Publications) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
