Hi Denis
Logo bitmap can be substituted at run time easily. It is matter of how you organize your app.
If you have multicompany enabled software, then logos have to be also interchangeable meaning stored separately for each company.
(For instance folder on the server having sub folders for each company) Or otherwise. Point is that you supply right logo/bitmap to the invoice at the run time depending on company/client settings.

As for Report Sculptor, if you plan to have rich looking multipage invoices then it is not bad idea to consider. As author of RS,
I use both plain FRX invoices and RS form based invoices. For simple dumb invoices I use FRX because is faster/easier to build,
but for complex multi-page invoicing I use form based RS invoice 'sculptures' {g}
With RS, Invoice preview can be clickable (drilldown) invoking item movement reports or even edits, or client account balances
report preview etc.
Also you can produce very complex and precise page layouts which are impossible or very hard to achieve with plain FRX.
You can fill up preprinted invoice paper sheets very easy, make complex multipage (even run time designed!) quotations/orders
with item pictures and such. No limits not so ever.
It all depends on what / if you need it really and amount of time and imagination you are prepared to invest in it :)

And yes, having 3 copies of the same invoice on the same sheet of paper is easy :)

If you need any help or have any problem implementing RS please let me know.
