Marsh is a nice guy and answered your question without a comment.

But I'll tell you that you are correct on one point. Coming in to a
newsgroup where people like the product, especially those who answer the
questions, and beginning by saying, "Your baby's ugly. Now tell me how to do
.. . ." is not the best way to "win friends and influence people".

For your information, I've worked with Report Generators in a number of
languages, dating back to the 1960s, and I haven't found any that are even
close to being as capable and as easy to use as Access reports. I've seen
very impressive work done with Crystal Reports, but the fellow who did it
told me that he didn't find it nearly as easy to use as Access reports. And,
fortunately, there are a lot of people willing to help -- but it'll be
better if you don't take your frustration out on them. SMILE
