Jos,

>>I have a report that uses a table of records. The records contain a numeric value. I would like to draw a box shape for each record and have its width change according to the numeric value in the table records. Can it be done?

Yes. The easiest way is to hack the .frx file which contains the report. For details on how to do that, get Cathy Pountney's book on the report writer. It is available as an e-book from www.hentzenwerke.com. It is well worth the reasonable price.
