You've done the usual report tricks. Your next step is probably to hack the .FRX:

- copy the original .FRX/.FRT out to another name
- open the copy as a table and hack it

Failing that you might have to try something like Crystal Reports, which I understand is more powerful but may not be able to do what you want to do here.

>Also, I need a utility that creates a pie or bar chart from tabular data which I can distribute. Any ideas?

You might automate Excel (or some other charting program) and create a chart, then print to a .PDF with the Adobe Acrobat Distiller.
