newbie: Add new Section to Report

[Lancer]

How do I maually add a new section / heading area / footer (etc) to a report already created?

Example: I have a report with these headings...

<REPORT HEADER>
<PAGE HEADER>
<DETAIL>
<PAGE FOOTER>
<REPORT FOOTER>

The <DETAIL> section lists billing information for clients like so...
[client name] ... [date billed] ...[amount]
and the <REPORT FOOTER> gives the grand totl of billing[amount]

...but I don't like the way it repeats the client name in front of every transaction. I want to list it only once. Should it be something like this...?

<REPORT HEADER>
<PAGE HEADER>
<DETAIL HEADER> <===write [client name] here
<DETAIL>
<PAGE FOOTER>
<REPORT FOOTER>

...ow do I add a new <DETAIL HEADER> section.to my report?

Open the sorting and grouping dialog. Add the client name and sort ascending then specify that you want a header break. Access will add the new section and you can move the appropriate controls into it.
