I am having a lot of difficulties in grouping totals.

Could someone please help!

EXAMPLE:

Group1 123
Group2 456
Group3 789

Try using the SUM(<field_name>) function in the footer of the group.  The
placement of this is going to depend on if you are using a table or lists to
do your grouping.  You can play with your grouping to only show the totals if
you do not want the detail.

Thank you.

However, are there indepth technical notes, white papers or links on how to
create mailing lists (columns) within a report?

Our China office need assistance in this matter and I have no idea what to do.

I have tried setting the report column setting to 3 and changing the width
of the report to no avail.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Terry,

I have created mailing lables for some of our clients and unfortunately I
have not found any good documentation on decent procedures.  I cretaed a
mailing list using a single column table with 5 detail rows.  My query
returns the fields I need and formatting was a huge issue.  I set the report
width and height to the size of the labels we were using.  I maxed out the
column to be a little bit less than the actual report itself.  I found that
sometimes if you run stuff right up to the edge on the width a little
variance will mess up the report.  Make sure you set your cells to not be
able to grow.  This will also mess up the formatting.  Put a page break at
the end of each one so each lable prints on it's own page.  We export to pdf
first then print them on a lable printer.

The same mailing list was created for sheets of labels on normal 8.5 x 11
sheets.  For that I created basically the same thing but made it multiple
columns and then had to make small adjustments to place the elements on the
sheets properly.

I wish I could be of more assistance to you but that is what I have.  If you
have more specific questions let me know and I will do what I can.

Tim

Do you have an example .RDL file available or could you provide basic
instructions on this matter?
