grouping on shared var from sub report 1

[suburbanites]

Hi, I am using CRXI SP2. I have a shared stringvar field that is coming from a subreport. I am not able to see the field when I do a grouping because it comes from the subreport. Is there any work around this? Thanks for your help in advance.

You cannot group on a shared variable, since it is determined "whileprintingrecords." Instead, you could consider making the subreport your main report, so you can group on the desired field.

Hi LB,

I figured as much.

Is it possible to create a customized grouping that is not based on any fields from a file ? ex.

"AC" = "Accessories"
"AP" = "Accounts Payable"
"AR" = Accounts Receivable" etc...

You can't group records into categories like this unless you reference some field within each record.
