Multiple Detail bands in Report Writer?

Not sure if that's what I need to do or not, but here's the gist...

We do testing services here, using vehicles. The data is compiled at
certain mileage intervals. The report goes like this...

Header

Detail lines showing data at each mileage interval

More lines showing data another way at each mileage interval.

Same as above, data another way.

Same as above, data still another way.

Same again, data still another way.

Each of these "bands" show the mileage intervals and dates that the data was
compiled. But each of these show the data in a different manner.
Initially, raw data, next band a sort of summary type data, the next band a
projection data, but still based at the individual mileage increments when
the data was compiled, next band is a series of comments compiled at each
measurement interval and finally a set of physical properties taken at each
mileage interval.

Right now this is done as a "manual" report in FPD2.6. I have no idea how
to get this into the report writer.

Can someone please help? Point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
Shawn

Hi Shawn:

For starters, run the Solution.app file located in the \Solution folder.
Choose "New in Visual FoxPro 9.0," and there are examples of multiple
detail band reports in the list of example code.

I hope this helps.

VFP 9.0 supports multiple detail bands. Short of upgrading (which I *HIGHLY*
recommend), look at
