Brad,

Thanks for explaining this for me. Now I see, that I understood Yury wrongly. Ok, now it seems to be a much more complicated task, which would be tough to handle in ReportWriter, though possible. I have to think about it to come to possible solution here. May be there are some ActiveX available, that can do this?

Ok, thinking out:

Suppose, we prepare our data this way in advance:
Week FirstDay Month     Sunday        Monday      Thursday ...
1 2 January Artur Clark Mike Akins Emily Griffin...
2 9 January
....


We then can show these data in a grid and print them.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
