Group Header with Columns Down/Across

[wackyd]

Greets.

My goal is to break out detail info based on a group with header and footer.
The detail needs 3 columns, all fields in evey column need to be labeled in the header, and data is to flow down then across.

I created a subreport for the detail and put all group header information in the main report: this was the only way I could find to repeat header info for all 3 columns and also repeat if data overflowed to a second page.

And it works...when data flows across then down. But if I tell the detail subreport to fill columns down then across, then open the main report, only the first column gets filled. The other columns are left blank regardless of amount of data or the "can grow/shrink" property of the subform.

I want to break things, help!

Did I not explain this well?

Let me start from the beginning. All I want is:

1) group headers
2) group detail columns with data flowing down/across
3) repeating column headers for each group detail column

Do you like pikters?????????

GROUP HEADER 1
__field1__field2__field3|field1__field2__field3__|field1__field2__field3__
.
.
.

GROUP HEADER 2
__field1__field2__field3|field1__field2__field3__|field1__field2__field3__
.
.
.

I don't want data overflowing into my group header!
I don't want to use a subreport!
