>>you're better off putting the HTML tags directly in the report, and saving to file without using GenHTML.
>Goodness!! I wouldn't imagine doing this for tables, lines, images!!!!

Why not? For a Table, put the <TABLE> tags around the data, put the <TR> in the Group Header, and <TD> before each field in the Detail band. For images, it's easy to include an <IMG> tag without a path: then you just distribute the GIF to the same directory that the user is viewing the report from. This works surprisingly well, once you figure out how to set it up properly....
