Displaying Data in Crystal

[ja01]

I am using crystal 8.5 (have access to cr 9 and 10). Here is a description of a report I am trying to do:
Name Name Type
John Smith preferred
John L Smith formal
Address Address Type
1313 S Street Miami Fl Preferred
125 T Street Washington Former
Education
1956 Miami Univ
1972 Florida Intl

Essentially, I want to display all data for the name in section1, then Address in section 2 etc Crystal attempts to display each instance of data in groups

Name
Address
Education
Name
Address
Education
I do not want the data displayed that way.
My question is will I need subreports for each section or is there another way. Also would this work better using crystal 9 or 10 as opposed to crystal 8.5??

Hi,
Try inserting a second ( or more) details group - not sure about 8.5 but in 10 you would right-click on the left ( grey) section of the Details section and choose 'Insert Section Below'..

Place
Name stuff in first, address stuff in second..etc

( Add more as needed )..

I think you would have to use subreports, although you could experiment with three separate crosstabs, one for name, one for address, one for education in a group footer for whatever group clusters these names together.
