It is my understanding that 'reports within reports" will not be available
in the initial release of 7.0...maybe 7.1?

So why not write the report in Access (using linked
tables to get the data from R:Base via ODBC) and then
LAUNCH the Access App from inside R:Base.  It could be
completely transparent to the user (have Access quit
after printing the report and use the new WAIT setting
on the LAUNCH command).

Then, when 7 is out, you could switch to the new
report writer and get rid of the stopgap Access
routine.
