Hi.

I have to change a group field at design time, I found only one way to do it: Remove the group field and add a new one, what means I'll lose all my work at the affected sections.

Maybe I didn't see it, that's why I ask: Is there a simply way to replace an group field?

If the answer is no, I'd suggest you add this feature ASAP because I wouldn't like to lose my work each time I need to change a group field, what happens once in a while.


Thanks.

Not sure if you are referring to 'Group Name Fields' or the field on which a group is based. Anyway, you can change a group (and the group name field) using the 'Group Expert' from the Report menu without having to delete the group.

You mean the "Group by" field at "Group properties" dialog? I've already tried that, but I can't change the "Group by" field because it is disabled. See attachment.

Then what I did is click on "<" button at "Group expert" dialog to remove the group and add a new one, which loses my desing. Am I missing something here? :confused:

Thanks.
