RTF files are plain text, so you can create them pretty easily. If your attempts haven't worked so far, you're doing something wrong. :)
Back in the day, I would create an RTF "template", and go from there. Try creating an RTF that looks like how you want it, and put placeholders in the spots you want to insert dynamic content. Nowadays, I just use JasperReports, and export in RTF using cfjasperreport (a tag I wrote for generating jasperreport reports from CF). JasperReports is WICKED COOL for doing reports. Beats the pants off of ReportBuilder, etc.. Cross platform y todo. :Den -- A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.
