GroupLevel Property

You can use the GroupLevel property in Visual Basic to refer to the group level you are grouping or sorting on in a report. Read-only GroupLevel object.

expression   Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Index  Required Long. The group level, starting with 0. The first field or expression you group on is group level 0, the second is group level 1, and so on.

Remarks

The GroupLevel property setting is an array in which each entry identifies a group level. You can have up to 10 group levels (0 to 9).

The following sample settings show how you use the GroupLevel property to refer to a group level.

In reports, you can group or sort on more than one field or expression. Each field or expression you group or sort on is a group level.

You specify the fields and expressions to sort and group on by using the CreateGroupLevel method.

If a group is already defined for a report (the GroupLevel property is set to 0), then you can use the ControlSource property to change the group level in the report's Open event procedure.

Example

The following code changes the ControlSource property to a value contained in the txtPromptYou text box on the open form named SortForm:

Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
    Me.GroupLevel(0).ControlSource _
        = Forms!SortForm!txtPromptYou
End Sub
