Maybe I am. the rpt can handle 9 employee columns across but There may be more emp's than that. What I do in these circumstances is go through the results cursor in batches of (in this case) 9, filling a print cursor, then reporting that, then next batch, and so on.

>I feel that you try to do it starting with wrong end :). Let's go slower. I need in some more data from you. How many columns do you expect in the report, i.e. how many employees it could be realistically; do you have a limit? If you have big number of employees per invoice, e.g. 10, then how you going to squeeze them into report form?
