I watched Richard's billing statements 1-3, created my reports from that, followed it when i created my own, here is my problem, when i run the report without a notes ( short text) section in my report, then all open statements show up correctly and are grouped correctly, if i add the notes ( again short text) section to my reports, it will seperate each order by items, it seems to do this if on an statement/invoice - i billed the custoemr for one thing, no issue, even if i put in a notes field on the report, but if the custoemr has more then one line item for the invoice, it seems to seperate it on the report, even if there are no notes on that order. Almost like it takes a blank field as notes. i tried adding the notes field to the first query i use for grouping, no luck, i also tried to add it to the 2nd qry that would be outside of the grouping, still no luck, each way i get the same problem.
