>Sure, there still one issue left. If let's say Inv#1 has employees Bob and John, and next Inv.#2 has Derek and Paul; do you report them in 4 or 2 columns?

4 columns

>In other words, each employee has fixed position in the report or you always squeeze them and print employee name in each report line? I suspect that the latter is the case, but still will appreciate if you confirm it. Could you do it now? If yes, then I will give full report querying outline in the next message and you could look at it when you get home.

Each employee against whose work an invoice has been raised will appear in a column of HIS data.
Some employees may have hours in different invoices.
Some invoices will have hours under more than one employee (eg several employees' work was invoiced for part of the job)
the employee names will appear only at the top of the column dealing with all the work (invoices) charged against them.

I hope this explains, but I really need to go now (dentist appt.) :-(

Cheers Ed.
