Thanks for the excel file with the comments Kay, very helpful.
A cosmetic point - is there a way of changing the default header MFI
name to the actual MFI name?

Ryan, in an ideal world the fees issue will reduce as they make
payments but it could take several months to get them cleared out of
the system and get a more accurate picture of our overdue total
amount.
What I need in the immediate term is a report giving me the info from
the Account Summary screen for the loan - showing the outstanding
principle, interest, fees, penalty and total for each loan (with
client and group name preferably).  We are struggling to figure out
the table structure to know where to pull those fields from to
generate a custom report.  Unfortunately the expert who was to help us
create our custom reports had to leave unexpectedly so we are very
behind schedule in that area of the project.  if anyone has anything
which can help us overcome this please get it touch.

Regards
gayl
