Printing a field in details section horizontally, with concantenation 2

[Cairmor]

I am wondering if there is a way to force Crystal to print its details section horizontally similar to the output of a Join(array,", ") function.

Normal Output would look like this. The report would have a simple group stucture with a groupname in the groupheader 1, and one field called {fname} in the detail section.

GROUPNAME1
John
Pete
George
Ringo
Paul
GROUPNAME2
Michael
Mark
Terry
Neman

*end

What I want is this:

GROUPNAME1
John, Pete, George, Ringo, Paul
GROUPNAME2
Michael, Mark, Terry, Neman

*end

Is it possible to somehow load the {fname} field into an array and use the Join function to print it "horizontally" with punctuation?

I am not interested in getting this output to print over columns, or with a creative use of cross-tabbing.

Aside from using the 3 formula method, you can use the whilereadingrecords level to do some slick stuff, check out my FAQ:
