Just treat each rows as a group and forget about the main group because apparently, it's just a label. If it's a layout problem, then it can be solved in the template. You can use a special header or a special static element for this label. Then use setelementBlock() to specify how this header/static should be rendered. http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.html.html-quickform.html-quickform-ren derer-itdynamic.setelementblock.php Good luck, Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
