Underlaying all detail sections?!

[tancan74]

I have a report that contains 5 different detail sections, and to get them to display and print the way I need them to, I need them all to underlay each other. I have the boxes checked in them all, but they just don't want to do it. I was wondering if maybe because each detail section has a conditional suppression, if that may be why they were not underlaying.... I would really appreciate any help I could get!
Thanks!

I don't follow what the objective is, do you want the details to underlay each other, underlay the following group footers, or ???

I really wanted all the detail sections to underlay each other, but due to time crunch, ended up making subreports and got rid of all those detail sections. I really didn't want to do subreports because this report is going to be generating many, many pages, and we have found before that using subreports slows our processing of the report really bad.

Do you mean 5 subsections of 1 record (Details A-B-C-D-E), or 5 different records with their own detail sections.

5 detail subsections will underly each other within one record, eve with condtional suppression. But, you can't underlay one records detail to another records detail.
