Hi Dan, Sorry about the time to respond. I have read much of the tutorial and installed the report builder. Thank you it looks good, However I am having some trouble using it. Can anyone suggest further documentation or guidance on using it? I am particularly using the charts, which seem to be treated as a minor part in the documentation I can find.
