Groups and Grouping

How do I dynamically change a group property?

ll_color = RGB(200, 200, 500)

dw_1.Modify(“DataWindow.Header.2.Color=” + String(ll_color))

dw_1.Modify(“DataWindow.Trailer.2.Height=500”)

List of Functions Available in Datawindow Expressions

Summary

Suppress Repeating Values in detail band

There is a selection under the Rows menu heading for this

Newspaper Columns in detail band

This option can be specified in the Print Specifications tab of the DataWindow Object. The newspaper column effect appears only when the report is printed or in print preview mode

Note, this will also display header information in newspaper column. Since you probably will not want this text repeated, the display can be limited by checking the Suppress Print After First Newspaper Column check box in the column’s general property page.

How come my groups are goofy

The data must be sorted in the same way as the group.
