I've got a subreport in my main report and if I could have the subreport have a subreport I wouldn't have a problem. So at this stage Im hoping I can get what I want by using some type of grouping.

So in my subreport I've got headings in the report header then fields in the details section, what I need is the multiple lines associated to each of the lines in my details section to be displayed... How do I get this effect without using a subreport?

If you  can give us some idea of the data field names, and whether the data is from the same or different tables we could probably help. You would need to tell us how the data is related as well.

Finally if you could give us some idea of about the layout you want to achieve.I suspect will be easier than you think.

Excellent... Well here goes:

I Have two tables. CTIL and TILA tables. For every one record in CTIL there is one or more records in the TILA table. The primary key field in CTIL is CTIL_REFERENCE the foreign key field in TILA is TILA_REFERENCE.

Basically what I need it to look like is:

One row of data from CTIL must appear, then directly after all the corresponding fields from TILA, then the next CTIL fields and the next corresponding TILA fields and so on...

The above is happening in a sup report.

Thanks for the help, my SQLs gone all rusty.

You will need to clean this up.
 
Create a select query that uses a left outer join. You can use a Command Object to do this.
 
It might look something like this (add the fields you want on the report).
 
SELECT CTIl.datafieldname, CTIL.DatafieldName,CTIL.Reference,TILA.datafieldname
From CTIL
LEFT OUTER JOIN TILA ON CTIL.Reference = TILA.Reference
 
You then layout your report sections something like this...
 
GrpHeader (CTILReference)
Detail (Information from TILA table)
 
The details will change everytime the GroupHeader changes. If everything is working correctly only the those details for that reference number will show.
 
Hope this will get you started in the right direction.
 
Regards,
