Hi Tracy,

Well, the only thing I've thought of that is a partial step in the direction of using what has been written is to create a few semi-generic wrapper reports and then direct the existing report body output to a memory variable which I display in the wrapper report's detail band. The problem with this approach is that there are some reports where the CPI is changed mid stream. Eeeeek!
