Grouping Data in a Master Detail Relationship Report

Good Day Everyone:

I have a report which I have brought in my vendor by using the Master Detail relationship. The vendor is the child within the report.

When I run the report the vendors show up in independent rows, I want to group the vendor so it shows One vendor name and then the items that are linked to it.

The grouping piece I cannot seem to master. Is there a specific way to group on this data type?

Thank you.

It should be as simple as selecting the Vendor column in your list and pressing the Group button on the toolbar. You can also convert the Vendor to a Group Header if you like. Or am I missing some complexity somewhere (which is very likely knowing me!) :)

Heya MFGF:

Unfortunatelly when I try to do that I receive the following error;
"You cant group the selected objects"
or
"Unabe to create the section because no query is associated with the object."

The second error I dont understand because that is the child record which is the second list. When you add the list to the current list it is imbedded, then you do the link so I am not sure why on this one.
