I am trying to print report in the below format:-

Details 1:

First row of detail section 1

second row of detail section 1

Details 2:

First row of detail section 2

second row of detail section 2

If we have to use sub reports then what is the purpose of inserting multiple detail sections? I am trying to print report by using multiple detail sections but it is printing rows together:-

i.e:

First row of detail section 1

First row of detail section 2

second row of detail section 1

second row of detail section 2

Isn't there any property of sections which makes detail section 1 and detail section 2 separate? So that it gonna print all the rows of detail section 1 and then all rows of detail section 2. I used groups but it would be possible if each group would show its separate detail section :). Thanks in advance and I hope it would not be too difficult to print report in this format and I will get the solution from the experts soon.

For your requirement there is no other way except using sub report as it will print according to your output if sub report is not used

Groups may work better than a sub report, depending on the data this will allow like things to be near each other.

i.e. 
(Group 1 header: auto_mfr) 
Chevy 
(detail) 
+chevelle 
+corvette
+corsica 
(Group 1 footer) 
there are 3 types of cars

and if you don't want to show the group it can always be suppressed
