Report Design woes!!
Hi there,
I need help before i quit my job or shoot myself.
Anyway, i need to display some information on a report but its not working out correctly.
I have 2 tables imported to my report.
the 1 st table lists organization (org) and order (ord)
so its in the format of
Table 1
org1 ord1
org1 ord2
org2 ord1
org2 ord2
org2 ord3
so i display this information in the report and supress the duplicate org's
so in the report it displays correctly.
eg.
org1
ord1
ord2
org2
ord1
ord2
ord3
so far im good. here comes the hard part. on the next table, i have 'people' which has a primary key link with the 1st table (org)
so the structure of table 2 is
org1 ppl1
org1 ppl2
org1 ppl3
org2 ppl1
org2 ppl2
so the number of records in these 2 tables may not be the same as you can see.
the issue now is that i want to display a report like this
org1
ord1
ord2
ppl1
ppl2
ppl3
org2
ord1
ord2
ord3
ppl1
ppl2
but its being displayed like this instead
org1
ord1
ppl1
ppl2
ppl3
ord2
ppl1
ppl2
ppl3
org2
ord1
ppl1
ppl2
ord2
ppl1
ppl2
ord3
ppl1
ppl2
the report has 2 sections and is formated as below
section a
org
ord
section b
ppl
help!!!

update.
i've tried using this under the supress condition for 'ppl'
whileprintingrecords;
if {Query_QA.org} = Next({Query_QA.org}) AND Not NextIsNull ({Query_QA.org}) then
true
else
false
this only partially works as only the last record of ppl is displayed and not all

Re: Report Design woes!!
What type of database are you using and what programming language?
I hate crystal reports and normally try to do as little processing as possible inside the actual report. I as much as possible to organise my data in the database or my program before going to the report.
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning. - Rich Cook
