Multiple Header Bands... not subset

edited July 2004 in General
I followed your example (see Rob's posting on 2/26/04) to add multiple
header bands. What I'd like to be able to do, however, is to have multiple
bands that appear something like this:

Band1 Header
Band1 Detail
Band1 Footer

Band2 Header
Band2 Detail
Band2 Footer

or, if that it not possible, then something like:

Band1 Header
Band1 Footer
Band2 Header
Band2 Footer

Hope that makes sense...
TIA,

    Hi Kumar,

    If you would like a header and footer for each detail band, you need to
    create a group that will break on each record in your database. This could
    be done by grouping on the master key field, or by grouping on a custom
    field such as a TppVariable that changes its value for each record change.

    Let me try to start a little simpler. How can I add multiple bands to a
    report such as this:

    Header Band
    Group Header Band
    Detail Band
    Group Footer Band
    New Band1
    New Band2

    Thanks,

    Hi Kumar,

    Unfortunately there is no way to add extra bands to a report unless you add
    static groups and use the group header and group footer bands. You could
    base these extra groups on a static label. Something like the following...

    Header Band
    Group1 Header Band (invisible)
    Group2 Header Band (invisible)
    Group3 Header Band
    Detail Band
    Group3 Footer Band
    Group2 Footer Band
    Group1 Footer Band
    Footer Band
