Report Design Question

I need to create a report with information about active projects in my
company. There are 4 categories of projects.

About 80% of the info I need on my report is the same for all projects,
20% differs by project category.

I need a combined report for all of the projects that will group the
projects together by category and then alter the headers (for the 20%
difference) depending on what project type it is printing.

Is subprojects the best way to do this? Do I have to run queries up
front to separate the data to use a a source for each subproject?

I am new to access and don't want to waste time on a poor design.

Thanks,
Ben

If you need different fields based on the project category, then yes a
subreport (one for each cat) is the simplest solution.
Yes, each subreport draws its data from its own query.
