I will give some back ground info befor i state how i want my report...

table structure is as follows.

Table One

fields name: Type & Desc:

DateOfWork DateField The date some work was performed.
Key Integer The work performed.


Table Two

Fields name: Type & Desc:

Key Integer (Primary key)
Short_Desc Text A short desc. used in form to select.
Long_Desc Memo A long description that will be put onto the report.


Now, how I want the report is like this:

Title Stuff.

Detail:
date all work done on this one date. using the long desc.



Thank you for any insight you might be able to pass to me... I have very limited knoldge about reports, but am faily good with vba to manipulate data...

Thank you...

Ok, I was able to figure it out using grouping and a sub form... the only problem i have is one field shouldn't be repeated if it's the same... but i'm working on it!

Thanks Guys and Gals

James,

To not repeat duplicate fields, set the Hide Duplicates property for that field to Yes
 
I tried that, it doesn't seem to want to agree...
