report grouping

[foxfire]

I have a report that prints 4 pictures per page. Top left, then top right then to the next row. It works fine. Now we want a page break when the date of the photo changes so I added a field with the photo date and added a group to my report based on the date and said start group on a new page. Now when I print the report, only on the first page, the pictures start in the top right and nothing is displayed in the top left. When you go to the next page, the pictures start in the top left. The date is the same for all the pictures and I have turned off using a page break with the same result. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Is there by chance a relation set which may point to an EOF() in a child table?

Maybe you need to make sure you are at beginning of file in the current table and do a REPORT FORM REST... instead of just REPORT FORM...

There are no child tables. To test things, I have a single dbf open and the report open. When I preview it, the problem occurs. I removed the group and it previews fine. I added the group again, but this time with .T. instead of a field and the same problem. I added a second group and it skips the first three positions. I added a third group and the first page is completely blank and the second page starts with the first picture in the upper left which would work if I wanted to waste the first page of paper.

Just found that this is a bug in version 8.
