Try accumulating by company rather than outcome and see if that helps.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Thanks Kathleen____I think I^ve tried every combination and nothing works - what^s even stranger is that when I display the company number in the group header line (using a logical field) it shows the correct number in the record line but doesn^t display all the company numbers in the group header line- only three, and then when I accumulate on company number it also says three. I^ve even simplified the report to a skeleton with no outcomes but it just won^t work. Are there any known bugs with my version (9.0.007) or with ODBC. I^ve been writing reports for years and never come across this.____Many thanks____Jackie

Is the report based on more than one data table?____Kathleen__R&R Support
