It is 12.5 pages in length with many screenshots. I will be looking at Helen's suggestions on the Report section in the Getting Started with Base to get some hints as to how to keep my Report section much less verbose. Tomorrow has to many other things to do to work on this. Wednesday will be another day at this. --Dan On Mon, 2012-02-06 at 13:41 +0000, Hazel Russman wrote: > On Mon, 06 Feb 2012 08:10:43 -0500 > Dan Lewis <[email protected]> wrote: > > Yes, that would be a good solution too.
