I have also opted for this approach, as user now want to see the reports on the screen before printing then they can direct the output to wherever they want, be that printer or file. Under the old method, we have had instances in the past where several-hundred page reports were printed only to find out that it was not what they wanted. This approach does not necessarily eliminates the problem but it diminishes it quite a bit... Javier,
