Hi Den  (an any others who may have felt my absence):
Rumours to the contrary, I've not passed on.  I was out of country and far 
from any FIDO site.  Internet, no problem, but FIDO....
Here's a little more on the report subtotaling problem:
The data table has the following fields (among others):
    effective date
    source
    amount
    cleared date
    account
    transaction code
I've given full names, rather than use the cryptic names forced by Xbase.
We allow the user to subtotal on any of up to 4 of these fields.  They make
the selection in a popup from field.  If the user selects 4 fields, no 
problem.
The problem arises because the ONE report that we use has 4 data groupings 
nd
subtotals for each.  If the user selects less than 4, the subtotal lines 
rint
without data.  I can suppress the subtotal text which says something like:
      99,999,999.99  <---- Subtotal for xyz
What I'm unable to do with the Report Writer is suppress the *&#@! blank 
ne!
So I get a report that looks a bit like the following:
12/01/96                      REPORT TITLE                    Page 1
22:00:00
Source     Account     Effective Date     Amount    Transaction Code
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Aces       012345      10/15/96         $ 100.00    123
Aces       012345      10/15/96         $ 100.00    309
Aces       012555      10/10/96         $ 500.00    123
--------------------------------------------------------------------
                                        $ 700.00 <--- Subtotal for Aces
The problem is that there was a break because Account changed, but user
requested NO subtotal for the account break.  She only wanted a subtotal
by Source, nothing else.  But there is the hideous blank line anyway.
I'm interested in any ideas.
