Default Index, appendix, the whole world....

ISSUE 1:
I have two tables with a one-many relationship.

I have designed a report with a group header for the one side and the many
side spanning to each detail section. something

like:

p.1
category header: food
---------------------
roast beef
chicken salad

category header: drinks
--------------------------
lemonade
beer

page break (using keep together: whole group)
p.2
category header: salads
-----------------------
chef's salad
chicken salad

Of cource adding or deleting records in each detail section changes the
lentgh of each group, thus the page number each group

resides in.

Because of the lentgh of the report it would be of great help to have the
first section (report header) displaying an index,

showing on what page number each header is in. something like:

category headers:
-----------------
food page 1
drinks page 1
salads page 2


ISSUE 2:
Just as above but in a many-many relationship, some records are the same
between different detail sections.

Awesome thing to have? an appendix showing for every single, pair, triplet,
etc record, showing on what page it is mentioned.

Just like MS Word!!

something like:

Appendix:
Word Pages
---------------------
Roast beef 1
chicken salad 1
... 2
lemonade 1
beer 1
chef's salad 2



Any help is welcome.

Thanx in advance.

You might be able to manage something with a WHOLE lot of programming, but
if you're looking for something easy, I'm pretty sure there isn't one.

While I'm not the one who posted the original request, thanks for the
article, Marsh. That's exactly the approach I'd been thinking of, but
didn't realize Microsoft had actually documented it somewhere.
