Sergio,
this is what my update was about.

But there is reason for the way it it. The methods in the listener are called over and over (imagine a 2000 page report that is 75% black). So calling this and that what could be done strait will considerable slow down.
Anyway, I say that one need to know what one is doing. (I found some code where somebody didn't know just in the morning. ::))

Personaly, I didn't see why they need those extra datasession, it would be much simpler and faster if they would stay within the one with the data. But again, there might be reason I do not see now.

But if you realy didn't like it, feel free to rewrite. ::)
If you didn't have time to it, check the chatter forum. Some people there working not to there capacity.
