I have created a report with three "groups"

1) Candidate -- there are many candidates
2) Year -- there are 3 years (2010, 2009, 2008)
3) Category -- there are two categories (billable, non-billable)

It works fine until it gets to the third category. It then prints all
the billable with a total and then a total after each non-billable
detail.

Thus:
billable
detail 1
detail 2
detail 3
detail 4
total billable


non-billable
detail 5
total non-billable

non-billable
detail 6
total non-billabe

non-billable
detail 7
total non-billable
grand total

Any thoughts would be appreciated

When I have something like this happen, I check the data and then recheck
the sorting and grouping. Access reports are very reliable when grouping.
They have always displayed exactly as I have asked them to. Some times this
is not what I wanted them to do.

Not sure why it worked, but I deleted and re-added the troublesome
group and it worked fine. Guess it will be one of life's little
mysteries.

Thanks for your help
