There seems to be 2 questions there :

Q1 : > i can see only one record at a time
A1 : I guess you should look at the 'View' menu and choose 'View as a List'.

Q2 : > I made a report with grouped data, from some records...

A2 : I guess there is a 'sub-summary' part which 'groups', as you say, the
records per a certain (sort) criterion. If so, then you could use the
'GetSumary' function, that gives on every record - belonging after sort on
that sub-summary part - the data (like 'Total Summary') - that appears
normally only in the sub-summary part.
Look at the help as it explains it better than me.

I don't know if I understood your question correctly, though...

Yes, I have msn but I don't like to use it. Why ? I don't know for sure but
maybe because it is instantaneous and does hardly let a little time to
think.
Now, if you wish, we may have direct contact by mail. Just write to me at

Back to your question :

In Browse mode that's the way it is. You need to go to preview to see the
sub-summaries. But, why don't you like the preview mode ? You may script it
....

To view multiple records you need to use List View, but I'm guessing
that you're using Summary fields which aren't designed to work in
Browse mode.

Summary fields only work in Preview mode (or when printed out). If you
want a summary to appear on-screen during Browse mode you have to
either use the Get Summary function in a Calculation field or start
using Relationships within the same table / file to group the data. It
really depends on what you're trying to achieve.
