    Question Report Grouping Comparison?

    Hello all & Thanks for considering helping me.



    I have a problem with a report that used to work, and now doesn't.

    I have been able to get another to work, but the grouping & sorting on the first one (the one I need) is way off now.

    I wish to find a way to compare the two and find differences so I can correct the first one.

    This may sound crazy, but the full story is this:

    I have a DB that works great.
    I remove the data, import new data, and the grouping gets screwy.
    If I create a quick report(using the wizard) with the grouping I want, it works great. I'm trying to avoid having to change fonts, formatting, colors, etc. on the new report that does work by simply correcting the grouping / sorting on the old report.

    I even had a backup copy in case something went wrong. When I did it again, I had the same problem.

    If anyone has a suggestion that will prevent me from having to re-do the entire report, it would help so much!

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

    I don't know any way to compare design of two objects.

    Need to determine why the report failed with the new data. Should not happen.

    You can copy/paste controls from the old to the new to retain their formatting.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
