[AccessD] Reports

 Yes, I agree.  

 Besides my clients don't even want to look
 at the code, but I do. . . .

 Liked the Create Table idea too.

Edward,
I just wrote some code to create a flat file from the separate records
(denormalize it all).
Then created the report labels from that.
I have posted the code below but it is nothing to should home about.
Cannot provide any data however, as it was a live system.

Option Explicit

Public Function pfCreateTempTableForReport()

  sql = "Drop Table tblTemp"
