Use a different reporting tool. Many users here use Crystal Reports, but I don't use it, and I don't know whether it has this particular capability.

Generate HTML output. This is actually fairly easy, once you understand the basics.

Use Automation, and produce the report in Word or in Excel.

Hilmar,

Thanks for the reply. I know how to do the automation to word or excel as I do that all of the time at work. But for this app I can not be sure that the user will have word and do not want that to be a requirement. I will try your work around and if I don't get it working I may look into crystal reports.

Thanks
Earl
