Sanda, Thanks for your response, the only other question I have therefore is that if I set one page per sheet, will I not end up getting multiple sheets when the automatic page breaks occur, ie when the group extends over more than one page as some of the grouped results extend to over 500 lines per group and others only about 10 lines. If I use the IS_IGNORE_PAGINATION, then as I understand it, the report will ignore all page breaks. Regards and thanks again Terry
