Hilmar,

I discussed this with the client this morning and he now wants the report in a standard order so it gets me out of having to figure out how to do this. Thanks for the suggestions. I will probably play around with this when I have more time.

>>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.

I think it can be done with Internet Explorer, which exposes an object model. Personally, however, I only use HTML for report preview (for reports in text-mode).
