OK... looks like I need to eat crow here a bit.. I thought I had all of the thread... Looks like I did not. I see the editing only extends to a memo field... Yes, an edit box is the way to go. And, it looks like they need something simple.

The comments should be persisted. This all really should be done prior to the print process.

OK Ed.. Looks like you did pretty good here....

When I am wrong, I am wrong....

Sorry....

However, I still think you discounted Ed Rauh's idea too much. I still do not think he was inferring to do ALL reports in Word...
