I would like to stop the repeating values in a column report
How is that accomplished?

Here is some code Carl Underwood wrote here in the past:

** PROGRAMMING SECTION: [ GLOBAL CODE ] [] **
stat CurrentCopy as string
stat DelayedCopy as string

** PROGRAMMING SECTION: [Group] [On Print] **
CurrentCopy = Group

if CurrentCopy = DelayedCopy
clear(Group)

DelayedCopy = CurrentCopy

Just to clarify, "Group" in that example was the name of the LE. It was NOT a reference to the Group Header, Group Body, or Group Footer.

I thought I would point that out, so as not to confuse anyone; because even though I'm the one that wrote that example, I almost got confused by the word "Group". Tongue... I said, almost! Wink

Here is the generic version of the same code:

Code
Select All
** PROGRAMMING SECTION: [ GLOBAL CODE ] [] **
stat CurrentCopy as string
stat DelayedCopy as string


** PROGRAMMING SECTION: [MyLayoutElement] [On Print] **
CurrentCopy = MyLayoutElement

if CurrentCopy = DelayedCopy
 clear(MyLayoutElement)

DelayedCopy = CurrentCopy

wow
That was more than I can understand at the moment, kind of like explaining quantum physics to a kindergartner…..no offence to any kindergartners out there! 

But thank you both for helping.
