Hi Christof, thanks for your response!

Can a general field be populated with a wordpad document and then printed using the report writer? I tried this, but I can't seem to get the reprot writer to print the text correctly. When I preview the report the text looks alright but when I print it the right margin gets barfed up somehow. I truncates each line by a character on some lines and several characters on others. Any thoughts on how I can get something like this to work with the report writer?

Thanks.

John.
