    Question Datareport grouping problem !! SOS!!!

    VB 6.0 --> Report Desinger

    I would like to add 2 grouping header in the same datareport but once I added the 2nd grouping header the runtime error message "Report Section do not match data Source" prompted out!!!!!!! Anybody please HELP !!

    The following are steps that i had tried on:

    (1) the connection was build thru dataEnvironment (and its
    confirmed working)
    (2) added a new report
    (3) set the datasource and datamember to the report
    (4) insert a new group header/footer (A)
    (5) retrieve the structure of the report
    (6) insert another group header/footer (B)
    (7) Drag in data_grouping_field from dataEnvironment into
    header (A) and (B) respectively.
    (8) Run the program and the following runtime error prompted
    out.--> "Section do not match data Source"

    Should this be the correct way to add in a new grouping header?

    Hi

    Im in the same boat but this what data report does:
    If you want to group by 2 columns the data report
    expects them in the same Group/Header section.

    Eg. Select hit_date, username, hit_count from hit_table

    If group your report by hit_date and username and then
    retrieve the structure in data report only 1 Group Header/Footer
    will be inserted. Put both the controls in the Header/Footer
    and run the report. You will notice it is grouped correctly but not quit like you want. The best answer is to use a child query(s) if you can, this will allow you till have the groups , group totals you
    are proberly looking for.

    If you find another way PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP
