Re: Grouping My query

Dear Richard,

Thanks for your response, you are right I am trying to do headings, I
thought I could do it from writing a SQL statement, but as you have
suggested it can only be achieved on the client code, I wish one day it can
be achieved with a SQL Statament thanks again .

Kind Regards.
