We would hard code them (the reports), but we need a tool that we can use to put things together quickly, and flexibility because the employer has not given  us the best of specs to work with.   I spent two days looking at DataVision and realised it wasn't going to work (how can they call that WYSIWYG?), and am about to download something called iReport-Designer, which works on top of JasperReports. Does anyone have anything to recommend? If there's something really top-notch that everybody in the know uses, then I guess I should be looking at it ;-).   Regards, Fritz Meissner jnr
