    Posted: 22 Apr 2009 at 12:48pm
I have two different groups of data in a report, which I'd like to display individually, rather than as nested groups.

The data to be group consists of Product Orders (group 1) and Manufacturing Instructions (group 2).

In the report, I'd like to display all the Product Orders, (0 to many) and then the set of Manufacturing Instructions (1 to many). 

With the way I'm grouping now, the set of Manufacturing Instructions gets repeated once for each Product Order, which is just duplicating the same data.

Is there a way to accomplish this, with or without groups?

I've considered using a separate subreport to display the Product Orders, but the calling code only knows how to pass one parameter, leaving little leeway to request separate data from the DB.

If i understand you correctly as long as your rows do not overlap to fall into both groups you can avoid a sub report.
Create a formula to to determine which rows fall into which categories and then group on the formula.
if condition1 then "Product Orders" else
if condition2 then "Manufacturing Instructions"
else "Missed Records"
The last item is just a safe guard to make sure all your records fell into 1 or 2.
If any row overlaps into both categories then you will need a sub report.
