I have got sub-reports working, but only the first item in each sub report gets displayed over and over again.

So data formatted like this:           Looks like this

    A                                   A
      1                                   1
      2                                   1
      3                                   1
    B                                   B
      4                                   4
      5                                   4
      6                                   4
    C                                   C
      7                                   7 
      8                                   7
