Report question

Hello

This is probably a simple question but I have not worked with visual basic reports all that much

I am listing information about a customer on each page detail section with a logo as the page header

To populate the information I am using a datasource and datafields for text boxes

My problem is that I want to list comments for each customer
but the comments are in a different table then the customer information
so my sql for the comments goes something like thist
select top 8 * from comments where custid = rsreport.fields("Custid")
and then I try to applied the 8 comments to labels that are on the datareport
however when I go through the different pages of the report ( which show different customers )
they all have the same comments
FYI the comment labels are on the detail section as well

Thanks in advance for any and all help

Do I need a data environoment to do grouping?

The simplest way to do this is to group on Custid
and have it start a new page (force page break after each Custid)
I am not sure I understand

so the top would be

Select * from customers  
and then that would give them customer informtion for each customer (name, address, etc)

and the bottom would be
Select * from comments
group by custid

this doesn't seem right though
No add a Command grouping in the DataReport itself.  Will explain later -- got to go buy some ethernet switches for work right now before it gets too late.
Ok just let me know - it would be a big help
