Garth writes "SQL Team,
Is there any way to flag the end of an ORDER BY group of data.
ie. For the following statement:
SELECT * FROM table1 ORDER BY Surname, Age;

I'd like to have a flag in the recordset telling me when I get to the end of the 'Age' group and when I'm at the end of the 'Surname' group.

Thus when I get the recordset returned from the database my program can do the following:

do until recordset.fields("Surname").endOfGroup
write Surname heading
do until recordset.fields("Age").endOfGroup
write Age heading
loop
loop

At the moment I'm keeping track of where I am in the database by using variables in my program. I would like to get around this somehow."
