Not quite sure how all of the discussion below managed to end up off
list, but anyway, for the record :
Hi :)
If it's difficult to follow the instructions then it might just confuse
people. Technically working is one thing but being clear and easy to
follow is quite another.
Two good people (who normally find it easy to follow instructions, and
to write/translate them) have struggled to translate this bit. If they
couldn't cope with it then normal users, who are struggling anyway,
might find it tooo much to cope with.
It sounds like a "nice to have" rather than being crucial.
If it can be done reasonably quickly then great but there's no point
pouring tons of effort into it is there?
Regards from
Tom :)

All,
That part of the handbook relates to a particular ODB file that was
made available by Robert as an extra example (Beispiel_Rechnung.odb) or
something like that, which contains the report in question (among
others).The macro is contained within that ODB file, and running the
report referenced by that macro does indeed appear to do what Robert has
written, i.e. it prints out the address of single client and associated
list of items for the bill, spread over two pages, with subtotals. If it
works, why pull it out - it can be left as an exercise for the reader to
disembowel the report and the macro and understand how it works in
detail. It shows something that can not be obtained by using the Report
Builder functions alone.
I feel it is a good example of what can be done with the Report
Builder when one comes up against its current limitations.
