Hey all!

I spent the weekend upgrading my application from 1.2 to 2.5 -- most everything went smoothly, fixing minor coding items that were upgraded or changed, and integrating some very nice functions that I was able to replace 10 lines of code with 1 line.

However, I got stumped in two major projects in the upgrade.

The first issue is that I have a report called Inventory Report.  It's a functional report, but it's awkward looking.

What I want it to do is simiple in theory, but I can’t seem to execute it in real life.

What I want is this:

===============
PAGE BREAK
REPORT TITLE
Client Number

HEADER
LINE
Inventory Details – Name, Reference Balance, etc.
LINE
Inventory Totals – Account Counts, Balance Totals, etc
===============

But I can’t seem to get working.  My biggest challenge is getting the report title and Client Number to be a banner across the width of the report, without affecting the first column of the inventory report (making the layout ugly).

I’ve tried programming a table report with a cell to ignore the column width, which hasn’t worked.  I’ve tried a freeform/table report, with the title in the freeform section, which also hasn’t worked.

Here’s my current report structure:

GROUP HEADER 1 (break on Client Number) - Cell with page break before always
GROUP HEADER 2 – Cell with Report Title as a String and the Client Number as a variable
GROUP HEADER 3 – Space
GROUP HEADER 4 – Header Cells
GROUP HEADER 5 – Line Cells
GROUP BODY – Report Body Cells
GROUP FOOTER 5 – Line Cells
GROUP FOOTER 4 – Total Cells Calculated on the Body Cells
GROUP FOOTER 3 - (empty)
GROUP FOOTER 2 - (empty)
GROUP FOOTER 1 - (empty)

Can anyone make any suggestions on how to make this kludgy report more elegant?

Thanks!

That did it!  Thanks!
