I am not sure what you mean by 'my own format'? If there is some specific layout you want, tell us what it is and perhaps we can help sort it out.

Its because I'm using the wizard and I want to rearrange the columns so that I may have to sides of the report, the other side should be the expenditure and the other side should be the income, so that I could add up the totals.

I hope you get what im saying.
Thank you in advance

You can easily modify your report. Once you have used the wizard to generate the report, you can use the design view to put the columns where you want, do formating and anything else you need to do.

If you are a bit nervous I suggest making a copy of the report you have by saving it under another name. Then use that copy to try the changes you would like to make. It is a great way to learn CR.

Thanks a lot, did try that and am so embarrassed that its such a simple thing to do.

Thanx again

But what if I have several records of one person in a particular field and I want to display  them all at once? I'm not sure of how to go about with this one. for example an employee has many benefits and I want to show all those benefits with the amounts of each benefit, for now it shows only 1 benefit for each employee.

Please help.

You can create a group (use your unique employer identifier) then all the details will print for each employee. It might look something like this.
 
Group 1 Header
    Employee
Details
    Benefits
