    Report Designer Over-populating Detail Area Contents

    I'm trying to use the Method Report Designer to create custom reports, but whenever I add an item to the detail area of the report it populates the report with multiple copies of the same item.  A one page report turns into dozens of pages of the same information.  This only happens in the detail area of the report, not the header or footer regions.  Anyone know what exactly is going on here?

    Greetings

    I dont work for Method but maybe I can help.  So you have to keep in mind that in the details sections of the report you can only have the many items in there.  You can not have stuff like customer names, drawings, images and stuff like that or address in the detail section.  So say for example if you look at a invoice report.  Look at the field names to the right.  You see the way the file is made up>  You have customer name and such then you have the many section of the invoice.
