Subject snake report observation From edward racht <e.racht@gmail.com> Date Wed, 30 Nov 2016 20:06:10 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Mervyn, I wish to let you know that I soak up your guidance.  I learn so much from your patient problem solving with programming challenges. This report has been good for me to follow as I had similar issues awhile back. I discovered something wasn't working right with the footerband as you describe it.  I have a pretty deep hole in the sand from going in circles. Thank-you for verifying it as a bug. Charlie's references a telephone book approach which rang my bell.  A couple of months ago I needed to look at an example I saw some years ago because I used the guidance to learn how to set up a two column report. I found it: http://www.mnuwer.dbasedeveloper.co.uk/dlearn/reporting/index.html in Report Tricks.  Turns out it is Key Mayer's Apartment Telephone Book example. Off course the challenge here is different but I was interested in accomplishing what charlie wants. Since then I have discovered I do not need to go that way. Your program solutions will be with me into the future. Again THANK YOU for your patience and guidance. ed
