Crystal No Detail, No Header

Thanks all the left outer join did it.
In a report I am working on I have discovered that if an Item has no
detail info, all the group headers get supressed. Is there a work
around for this? In our pick list report, if there is no material in
stock, then there is no detail, and the whole record gets suppressed,
so a partnumber doesn't even print. Any ideas how to get around
this?

No easy workaround. AFAIK, the only way you can work around this is to
either *force* something to be in that detail section and just suppress
it out or use subreports as your detail sections. The first option
might work well for you. I assume you are filtering the stock quantity
in the select expert? Remove this criteria and instead use conditional
suppression on the detail lines.

The detail in question is part of a subreport, so I can't put another
subreport in, and I thought about trying to force info to apear in
the detail, but the problem I have found, is that the table PARTBIN
deletes the part record when it has a zero on hand quantity. So I
gues my next question is if there is no crystal work around, is there
a table in vantage that has most of the same info as the PARTBIN
table?
Look at the PartWhse.OnHandQty field. Should be the summary for all the bins
in the warehouse, a step above reading all bin records for inventory totals.
You may have multiple warehouses though.

If I use the PARTWHSE I can get half the info I need but I can not
find a table that will print bin and lot numbers that doesn't delete
zero quantity records. So when I add fields from those tables to my
detail it wipes out the whole subreport if onhand quantity is zero,
regardless of the table I pull onhand quantity from. I have the BFH
ready as I am getting frustrated with this report. Any Ideas are
helpful.

In the Visual Linking Expert, try changing your join between
Part and Partbin to be a Left Outer Join. This will include
all the rows in the Part table on the report regardless if
they have a match in the Partbin Table. If you only want
purchased parts you'll also need to do a select on TypeCode
and limit it to "P".

Have you tried an outerjoin to also allow for missing records.
