yes, i also agree excel can be used which i did using PivotTable ocx with Office 2000 in simple cases. but my inventory program involves crosstabulation and is using _vfpgentab because of the dynamic columns involved and being presented. but its hard to present the complicated data and variablesinvolved here. but my point is that i have limitation with my report heading using vfp report designer. so i thought of exploring some commercial applications.

thanks and bregards,
