Well after reading the many threads on this topic I am going to have to take a look at reportlab. But after playing around a bit with datavision, for most database reports it is going to be my application of choice. It has a very nice drag and drop report generator, and I can serve the reports to my clients as either html or pdf with minimal coding. the only drawback is that it is a java app and does not integrate with webware, so I am running if off my tomcat server, but with jython and a little hacking you can write java servlets in a pretty pythonic way so I'm happy. I am currently working migrating an access report (I can hear the groans already) over to datavision so that i can deliver it as pdf's to my clients. If you've not solved this problem to your satisfaction i would urge you to give datavision a try. I can share my servlets with you if it would help get you started, but the jsp and the servlet examples are pretty straight forward and is what I used to write my test code. Jose
