<< Any other ideas? >> Yes, I did a project similar to this several years ago. The secret is R:PDF Merge.
First off, definitely keep the statements in separate PDFs. Then you can easily implement the idea that you can email around individual statements as required (eg "Hello, you didn't get your statement? Can I have your name or phone number? Is your email still XXXX? Okay, I just sent your statement, check your email.) When you want to operate on a bunch of statements at once (eg "Hello, is that accounting? All the statements for the first week of January? Check your inbox") you build a query interface that lets you identify all the statements you want. Then you write a "command file" (just a text file, listing the disk files) and call R:PDF Merge to create a single large PDF from all the small ones and email (or print) that file. In the project I did, this technique allowed the client to supply literally hundreds of important business documents to trading partners in a single PDF while the other company was still on the telephone. -- Larry
