It is good to see that I am not the only one who gets mangled responses..< s >.
Yes, Ed, what you offered is/was a strategy. All advice given, to one extent or another, is a strategy. Lets not get caught up in semantics here...

As for Ed Rauh's idea, YES, this is an ideal situation for Word. Ed Rauh DID NOT infer that all reports should be moved to Word.

Why go through the hassle of building a UI, and the code that goes along with it, when you could simply use automation in this instance.

Simply put, and edit box is Not and ideal UI element to do this sort of editing. How would you control page breaks, have page numbering etc....

So Ed Pikman, yes, you offered a strategy, but not a very good one. And, you totally discount Ed Rauh's Automation strategy. This post of yours is the essense of my beef with you.

Believe it or not, quite a lot has been going on in the Fox world, that is not Fox-specific in the last few years....

I think you have been on the isolated island long enough....< s >.


>I would not say that I offered 'strategy' here. My point was to show possible workaround. Not every report should be moved to Word.
