Jack,
Thanks for making the suggestion. But I am not really interested in rolling my own custom code here. You see im not a developer, just an end user. So if JasperReports does not provide this functionality 'out-of-the-box', then I guess that Im just going to have to look at some other solution here. Perhaps I should take a look at BIRT or Pentaho ? Thanks for the help, Sincerely, John Smith.
