Hey, that's an interesting suggestion. Unfortunately, though, it won't fit in my case, as I still need the columns to be kept separate ... I just need headers than span multiple columns, leaving the columns as is.

In any case, my hope was to find somebody else who had done work on this so I didn't have to!

Thanks,
