    Posted: 15 Oct 2007 at 1:07pm

I cannot create one cross-tab report that contains the data I need so I’ve created 3 cross-tabs and placed them side by side.  The problem is because the rows with null values are suppressed my reports do not line up. Is it possible to link the cross-tabs reports?  Thanks

                                         
I would like to see the following

That's a bit tricky. I would try doing a left-outer join with the Country table being the left-most field. That way all the countries would be listed even if there wasn't data in the right-side table. If that doesn't work, you could insert a couple rows of dummy data with zeros in it to get each country listed in the cross-tab.

Thanks Brian,
 I tried doing a left-outer join with the Country table being the left-most field but i get an error stating that the "joint expression not supported"  and it's not really possible for me to add any dummy data to the database.
