hi,
A group is a set of records that are related to each other in some way. In a customer list, for example, a group might consist of all those customers living in the same Zip Code, or in the same Region. In a sales report, a group might consist of all the orders placed by the same customer, or all of the orders generated by a particular sales representative. Crystal Reports offers you a great deal of flexibility in the way you group the data on a report
