Hi David, For spreadsheet-like views, you can try the built-in table field control. In its current form, it isn't perfect, but it might be just the ticket for what you need at this point. An alternative is to download the free table and graph controls by Kenneth L. Simons, from the URL: <http://www.rpi.edu/~simonk/technical.html> When it comes to reporting, I encourage you to download Quartam Reports for Revolution, review the samples and see if it fits the bill. Modeled after traditional report systems like available in FoxPro, FileMaker and Access, it takes a different approach from 9-to-5 Reports/Reports Data Pro for HyperCard. If you've used the reporting features of the databases I mùentioned above, you'll feel right at home. If not, once you get the hang of it, I'm sure you'll appreciate the flexibility this approach brings. As its author, I'm available by email if you have any questions or suggestions - they may not get incorporated right away, but it helps to shape the product in the future. If you purchase a copy now, you get a free upgrade to version 1.1, which is currently in beta and will be available shortly. Also, I'll be presenting a session at RevConWest abgout complex reports - don't worry, it won't be just a sales pitch for my own tools, as I'll be exploring the wealth of options you have at your disposal, to create various types of reports using Revolution.
