Did HC's report tool do columnar reports? I'd opened it and poked around prior to posting, but could only find capabilities similar to Rev's Report Builder. If so, it would be useful to review that interface for ideas on building a replacement, though it's hard to imagine it could compare to the more comprehensive options of specialized third-party tools like Reports Data Pro, which might make a better model to follow. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge 2.2: Publish any database on any site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
