Karen I've been following this thread. I think your best bet may be the DOS route, like Frank has done at Araho. If you remember, he's got a machine running R:Base 6.5++ in a constant while loop looking for rows that have been flagged as ready for printing. THe window app updates a column with a value that means "ready to print" when the user clicks on PRINT, and the DOS app picks that up, prints the report and then updates the column to mean "printing done".

And I can visualize how you were able to do this, with breaking on a course ID, filling in the columns for instructors, having multiple rows of data for each course ID, nice separators between each section. My report, though, would be nothing like that. It's mostly paragraphs of text, with embedded tables of data. My temporary table would probably have to be just ONE long text column wide and I would have to space the tabular stuff myself. I see alot of calculating to be done if one column's value goes into multiple lines. And again, I don't think I have the ability to making some things bold, some italics, within the temp table.
