The only other option that I would really, really like (are you there R:azzak?) is that if you select the output to be a file such as PDF, RTF, XLS, etc, then you have the option to place it as an e-mail attachment and then open your e-mail software with the file already attached. Right now, I have to use a 2 step approach, that is generating the file, selecting "open after generate" and then sending it as an e-mail attachment from the file displaying software (MS Word, Excel, Acrobat, etc.) Javier,

Another good thing to do, is to display on a input screen the, number of records selected, and the number of pages <to be printed> before bringing the report up to the screen. Just another tool in our 7.x arsenal.
