Thanks Matt, This is the only way I have managed to do this so far ... getting the xml to return the group record as a member record and flagging it as a header then using a cellrenderer to distinguish between the group header and member records. I just thought I may have missed an obvious way of achieving grouping. Many Thanks for your reply L
