    Hello Jan,

    What you said about PrintReport is right.  You mentioned:

    If you need such pin-point control over every aspect
    of the output of your report, you'll feel right at home
    with Quartam PDF Library.

    That is exactly what I am looking for.  I will check it out
    on the web site.  I won't be purchasing it right away but
    it will be on my list for sure.

    Thank you,
    John Balgenorth
