I remember someone else mentioning this and can't remember the solution. However remember we are still using wx2.8. > Is this my install or ....?

Dabo's reportwriter wants dataset-like structures, which is a sequence (list, tuple) of mappings (dict), where each key in the mapping is a field name, and each item in the outer sequence is a "record". It also wants denormalized data, so select all your data and repeat yourself in the dataset. Add calculcated fields to it if you want. It's very database-agnostic.
