yeah, I understand the network restrictions, etc. so I figured there
wasn't any direct, easy way.  Could it be possible to tie in the
printing of these reports to the standard browser print function?  I
guess the main point of interest for me is to not have to display all
the reports before printing them unless the client wished to do so.

Thanks.
