I am having a similar problem as well, but I think I might be able to suggest something for you.
Would it be possible to set up your layout in this fashion:
Bob's Gas Station Mike's Station
Facility Permit # 11-66-00001 11-66-00002
Inspection Period: 10/01/2007-12/31/2007 10/01/2007 - 12/31/2007
Inspection Date: 10/06/2007
You could even set up a field to say "No Date" and then suppress it on the condition of {date.field} > 10/01/2007
I hope this helps...
