Thanks Agnes,

Yes Agnesm the reports are entirely different, so the conditional fields would be a HUGE undertaking and nearly unmanageble.

>>I need to produce a report which will print totally different layouts based upon a data element in the cursor which is driving the report. I need to do this becase this is an application where the user expects to just go over to the printer and pull off a set of documents in order and use them without any further sorting or merging. We will need to produce something like merged sets of different documents in one run.

>>  case valueofreportcriteria = 4
