Hi William

I had the impression that you converted everything to web form applications as fast as you could do the typing ...?

Yesterday I played with the report viewer in asp.net and that is awesome - works "just like that", ready for export to Excel or PDF - exactly what clients request.

...lol ...I'm in the process of a complete rewrite of a major ap I did more 
than ten years ago ...in my case, your 50% estimate is low by a wide margin 
...very wide! :)

...I'd still like to see you refactor Rocky's code as a class/collection 
solution.
