I'm trying to duplicate this report design

Posted Image

So far my attempt has 3 tables and 2 grids..I doesn't really look the way I want it to yet though. Everything isn't aligning right etc. I'm sure there is a better/easier way of doing this. Could anyone help?

I've attached the .rptdesign file of my attempt.
Thanks

Try starting with a single grid with 8 columns and 3 rows. Then merge the cells of the grid to create the header. Merge cells is on the right click menu after you select one or more cells. Put labels in the grid cells but make sure that when you apply color you apply it to the grid cell and not the label itself. That will give that "edge to edge" look that your example has. I put an example grid underneath your original to get you started.
