  create the memo in the group header and set its text. control its visibility using two variables
  (done notdone) which is set in the obp of the groupheaderband and reset in the oap event of the group footer band.
  or if your databand is a set size and it spreads to another page due to record count
  use the line# variable to turn on vis and oap event of footer to turn off

  Hi gordk,
  
  thanks for your very quick response.
  
  Your input actually gave me a good idea after I couldn't get it to work (my failure for not quite understanding what you're suggesting).
  
  1. I defined a global variable "lastgroupname" as a string.
  
  2. I made a memoview with "(continued)" as a text and named it "headercontinued".
  
  3. Then I made a obp;
  

  procedure GroupHeader1OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);
  begin
    if lastgroupname=<mydatasource."mygroupfield"> then
      headercontinued.visible:=true
    else
      headercontinued.visible:=false;
  
    lastgroupname:=<mydatasource."mygroupfield">;                    
  end;
  

  
  and that works GREAT ... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Thanks again! I hope this info can be useful to someone else as well[/img]
