Jose,
In theory it works great, but when you actually go and do it the result is a unpredictable report that looks awfull and need so much editing that is is hardly worth the effort. But I need a way because Writing to ASCII is manditory. Unless someone knows a way to put that report straight into WORD. Thanks for the suggestion anyway, I am just frustrated!
