Hi guys. I have a problem, and it seems it is big.
I have 2 tables, "linked" by ID field: car & person
1 person may own 1 or more cars
I make the listings in following way:
i list the cars in a report, and i list the persons in another report.
I was asked to list in one report the persons and their cars.
John
-- Honda ...
-- Ford ...
Mary
-- Renault ...

I know it is master / detail stuff but i use NEXUSDB, and i retrieve the data from the db server, so all the tables & db are generated at runtime, that's why i cannot make Master detail...

Any workaround for making this in the report ?

thanks alot

    use a joined query with an orderby clause to match grouping conditions you will want.
    in report use group headers set grouping conditions, 1 mdband group footers

    you have an excellent demo of this already in the fr\demos\reports\frdemo.dpr
    compile and run the demo, see the nested groups report
    to see the query this is based on look in the datamodule at the repquery.
    ;)
