Report-Hiding Repeating Field Values

I am very new at FMP. I taught myself so bear with me.

I created a database for capturing various information on our Subcontractors. Our subcontractors are on several different jobs. I have a different record for every job that subcontractor is on because different data comes in from each job.

When creating a report, how can I have the common data from each record not repeat? For instance it goes to the next record and prints the information only if the previous record does not have the same data.

Look up subsummary in the online help. You want to create a subsummary part by Subcontractor (I'm assuming), sort by Subcontractor, then preview or print the layout for the subsummary to display.

Also, be sure to point Subcontractor-specific fields into that subsummary, with jobs in the Body part.
