This really can only be done with the DOS product (and it takes going through a lot of hoops). 7.0 performs this feature flawlessly, including headers in the middle of columns etc. The problem is that windows generally uses proportional fonts, and DOS used fixed fonts. I gave up trying to do it in 6.5. You are right, there was someone (Bill Downall maybe??) who presented something at the conference two years ago, but I waited for 7.0, and am glad I did. The reports feature of 7.0 does just about everything you want.
Your only other option is labels, but they sort crossways, not up or down.

I believe there were some notes about this in the past, but I don't recall the details/settings to get data sorted properly. TIA. Bill
