Hi Colin,

There would seem to be two useful but currently unavailable sizes: fit page to width and fit content to width (the latter is a little larger). A nice improvement for SednaX that could ship quickly.

By the way, I am working on a routine that places all data in report textboxes from the detail band on down (including subtotals, for example) into a single cursor (as you know that data may come from different places) and then exports cursor to an Excel spreadsheet. Fields are ordered by (HPos + Width + BandNumber * 50) so subtotals are to the right of detail fields. Subtotal fields are called OriginalFieldName_GroupingField and OriginalFieldName_Total and keep a running total as you move down the spreadsheet.

Although unfinished I'd like to send it to you for comments. May I?

Thanks,

Alex
