Hi All,

I have been working with reports now for a while. The examples and some
help from Fabien proved to be very useful.
I managed porting the most simple reports made in Ms Access to
gb.report.

But at the moment I'm stuck with something I can't figure out.
Since the project is big and data confidential I'll try and explain
using some sample data.

Imagine I have following data
Code    Description     Amount
103     Table           0
103     Table           20
103     Table           12
105     Chair           46
105     Chair           34
106     Bed             0
106     Bed             0
106     Bed             9
203     Pool table      2
203     Pool table      3

I'm trying to group by code and make a total for each group.

In Ms Access I based the report on a query that filters out the Amount
fields equal to 0. The grouping on the Code field could be done in the
report design.

With gb.report I have tried all kinds of different combinations of
controls and property settings and never managed to get the desired
result.

I would like the report to like this: 

Articles produced     <-- header of the report (only on page 1)

Code    Description     Amount
------------------------------
103     Table           20
103     Table           12
        Total:          32

Code    Description     Amount
------------------------------
105     Chair           46
105     Chair           34
        Total:          80

Code    Description     Amount
------------------------------
106     Bed             9
        Total:          9

Code    Description     Amount
------------------------------
203     Pool table      2
203     Pool table      3
        Total:          5       


The number of groups is no fixed number, meaning there can be more
groups than shown above. In the reports I need this grouping we are
talking multi paged reports.

An example doing this would be very helpful and help me get quite some
of the left over Ms Access reports ported to Gambas.

P.S. Using Gambas 3.5.2
