Victor - at first glance it seems to me that you could accomplish your first
objective by "building" (for the lack of a better term) an RV that each time
it dipped down into the subreport added the next last name to what was
already collected. The RV would have to start out blank (obviously) and then
probably add through a cat.t formula the last name plus a space or other
separator and then be printed out once you've left the subreport. I would
expect that the printing takes place at the end of the report so then you'd
insert the RV into the paragraph.

Got that? I haven't had coffee yet so I hope I'm being clear.
