My work around solution is to build some report templates. Let them select the templates and then let them filter the data which will be printed. If they can't find a suitable format they can export to Word or Excel and put it in the format they want.

This is not what I really want, but I think it will suffice.

Let me know when you get your framework completed as I really need something like what you are building.

I appreciate the response

>Dear Gaylen,

I am working on same functionality in my framework. Now my clients can select fields displayed in a grid, but not only select - they can change default (current) wide and order of the columns (default wide and order I'm getting from the grid properties, control sources too).

After this they can click on a button "Generate report".
At this point I take a "sample" report (prepared in advance),
then I open it as a table and add records correspond to the fields selected, some replacements with fontface, size an so on.

I plane to improve this report generation "on the fly" with graphical element (table), but now I have other urgent work.

Please send me your e-mail address. If I decide to publish my work I'l inform you.

Yours,
Nik
