Tashbaugh,

I attached a text file with the beginnings of a class I am writing.  I tried to post it but the results were - shall we say - a bit less than satisfactory!!!

I was/am working on the same problem.  I had a twist in that I did not want to manually format the widths of all the columns.  I also bind the data using code.  Some earlier forum posts noted that the default width is 0 - so nothing diplayed but the record selectors.  Yuk, yuk...

I have attached the very beginning of a class to:
Default the column widths based on percentages using character counts in headers and content
Create a section header
Placing the grid on the report after setting the header

Now, to your problem:
The column management above will set the widths that can be used to place the headers where needed in the section heading
Or, you can use your column widths set as properties to do the same
Use the same kindof loop

Now stuff I am still looking into:
I will need to supress the printing of the first column headers

and, much time will be spent debugging...

This reply is really just to get ideas floating out there.
