    Report Header Problem

    I have a report where it sorts jobs assigned to a specific machine and that all works well but...a job can have 2 machines and i have the feilds set up so that machine one is in one feild and machine 2 is in another...so is there a way to put the second machine in the sort so if job 1 uses machine A and Machine B then the sort with show Machine A has job 1 and Machine B has job 1 as well

    You haven't given enough information about the structure of your tables or the sorting and grouping on your report for the experts to try to answer your question.

      my table has a feild for machine 1 and a feild for machine 2
      each job can have either machine 1 or machine 1 and machine 2
      in the report it sorts by just machine one
      how do i get it to put the machine two in the sort as well

        You need to restructure you tables.

        Machine1 and Machine2 shouldn't be two separate fields they should be a separate table. Have a look at this tutorial
