Group Properties Window

The Group Properties window appears when you are defining report groups for a column report template.

Group Headers and Footers

You may enter multiple lines for group headers or footers. Be sure each line is by itself a valid expression. This means field names can be entered exactly, but simple text must be enclosed in quotation marks. You may not have a complex expression wrap to multiple lines.

A sample header for a Name report indexed by Last and grouped by the first character of last names (LEFT(LAST,1), causing a group break for each letter of the alphabet) might look like this:

" ---------------------"+ Left(last,1) + "--------------------------"

This would give some blank spaces at the left edge, followed by dashes and the letter of the alphabet for the following section.

Suppressing Group Totals

Select Hide any group Totals? to allow grand totals at the end of the report but NOT have totals print for each group break.
