    Show same record once on the top

    Hi, I'm new to MS Access report creation, and doing something for a friend.
    I'm trying to create a report from a query, that will all the employees from a specific department of a company.

    The way I did the report (using Access itself), it shows the department on the left column in all lines, so it's repeating that a lot of times.
    So my idea was to have just once on the top Department, and then bellow having all the names and other info from employee, until it reached the next department.
    I have now something like this:
    Department Name Age
    IT Mike 29
    IT Sandra 30
    IT Gene 55

    And I would like something like this:
    Department: IT


    Name Age
    Mike 29
    Sandra 30
    Gene 55

    How can I set that field so it will appear on the top and only once?

    Thanks in advance

    TextBox controls on a report have a "Hide Duplicates" property on the Format tab of their property sheet.

    you can use the group header, and keep text box of department Name in Group header. i hope this will solve your problem.
