Consolidate Text from Detail into Summary

[trbyrne]

First things first - I am using Crystal v 10 Developer on a Windows 2003 server. I am looking for a way to consolidate text entries from my detail records into one text entry for a group header. An example follows:

What I have now:

<GROUP HEADER>
ITEM #1848

<DETAIL>
Text line 1

<DETAIL>
Text line 2

<DETAIL>
Text line 3



What I really want is this to be transformed into this:

<GROUP HEADER>
ITEM #1848
Text line 1, Text line 2, Text line 3

<GROUP HEADER>
ITEM #8718
Text line 1, Text line 2, Text line 3

You could easily do this for a group footer, so is it necessary that this be in the group header? Also, can the number of details vary from group to group or is always three? What is the maximum number of details?
