I have a survey report that breaks up by branches.   I have 4 different catagories that I am reporting off of..

I like the group tree to look like this:
 
Branch
 |___ Experince
 |___ Measures
 |___ Improvment Areas
 |___ Comments
 
All Branches
 |
 |_Saginaw
 |   |___Experince
 |   |___ Measures
 |   |___ Improvment Areas
 |   |___ Comments
 |
 |_Detroit
 |   |___ Experince
 |   |___ Measures
 |   |___ Improvment Areas
 |   |___ Comments
 |
 |_San Antonio
 |   |___ Experince
 |   |___ Measures
 |   |___ Improvment Areas
 |   |___ Comments
 |
 |_Cleveland
     |___ Experince
     |___ Measures
     |___ Improvment Areas
     |___ Comments
 
  
    All the data is in the same table.   These are just headers for each section.   I like to make it easier to navigate the report if someone wants to see the Comments without going 6 pages in the report.   I have the all branches working by just doing a ToText Forumla.   I tryed the same thing and grouping them up for the others and I get all the catagorys are childs of the catagory above it..
 
Using VS 2005.
 
Any Ideas?
 
Thanks..
 
Ed.

This is basically a report that has two sections and each section groups the same data a little differently. Since Crystal Reports can't print the same data two different ways in one report, I would use a sub-report to break it up. The main report can group the data in the lower section since that takes up the majority of the report. By using a sub-report in the top section, you can display the same data in two different ways.

I may be misunderstanding.
 
I use a sub report for the ALL Branches data and one for the Branches data. 
 
I work like the catorgorys to be broken up more so theres a quick link via the tree group.  When I use the group expert I cant state that all the catagories are children of Branch.
