Hi Arturo,

Take a look at the following article on creating groups in code.

Seems adding a group was not the rigth solution to my needs, but im really
thankfull Nico.

Do you know how to change the field assigned to a group on runtime?

Im trying to allow end user the data order for a report, but this means the
report grouping needs to change too, so i thinking to define all the groups
i need (4) and try to assign the proper field to them on runtime.

Any ideas?

Seems adding a group was not the correct solution to my problem, i want to
allow my users to select data order in a report, but of course; groups needs
to change accordingly to that. Is there a way to change field assigned to a
group before i print my report?

thanks for your patience and help Nico.

Hi Arturo,

You can access existing groups in code using the Report.Groups property.
From there you can adjust the field used for a specific group using
the FieldName property. Something like the following...

ppReport1.Groups[0].FieldName := 'MyField';
ppReport1.Print;
