See, there's another good reason to stick to this list... I learn something all the time. Thanks Dennis. (I don't think I ever viewed that report because I thought it wasn't accurate enough to be useful.
For example, I like the "Size Of board" to be listed, but it's never right because 99SE doesn't know exactly what to consider the board size. I just did a little test (to make sure it wasn't fixed in some service pack when I wasn't looking) and created a 2" x 1" board (Using the keep out layer) and placed a few parts on it(to test the Layer Specific Pad count). I also placed some text on the mechanical1 layer and the report said the board was 2 x 1.598 sq in. Wrong. When I remove the text on mechanical1 layer, the report was correct 2 x 1 sq in. Maybe that was the reason I just avoided the report and in doing so, I missed the layer specific count.
