Thanks Cathy, I was afraid you were going to say that! (LOL) It still beats the 'rec_type' scenario with the kluge of labels and fields in the same detail band.

Multiple detail bands has a design flaw as far as I'm concerned. The big flaw is that if a detail band doesn't happen to have any data associated with it for this "parent", the report writer still attempts to print the page header and footer. If you have that detail band marked to start on a new page .. guess what .. you get a blank page! Yuk!

I'm using two detail bands and one Group similar to 'employeesMD.frx' in "The VFP Report Writer: Pushing it to the Limit and Beyond" ... chapter 5 VFP 9 update. In actuality it's behaving exactly as I would expect. The problem is that there are instances that the third table has no related data. What I'd like to be able to do is 'not' print the Detail 2 Header when there is no data for that band. I suppose that I could stick Print When's in all the Header labels, but I'm wondering if there is a more preferred way ... any suggestions!!! Thanks. Best, Francis I.
