Phone directory page break at each change in first character of last name

[Joseph Greenberg]

I am trying to produce a report that will advance to the next page (or
column preferably) when it switches from the "a" names to the "b" name, and
then to the "c" names (etc). How does one do this?

Try using the group header section's NewRowOrCol or
ForceNewPage properties.

With Marshall's suggestion you need to use Left([NameField],1) in the
group header.

Thanks - I ended up adding a grouping variable and having it group on the
first prefix character.
