[AccessD] FW: Transportable Document Approach needed

...all true Stu ...but automation doesn't get you an accurately produced 
"editable" Word doc from a Report, which was the requirement.
...couldn't agree more that its a pita, or "messy" in your words ...but it 
does do what Lebans claims, eh
...and for web use, it produces a much smaller file than a pdf but can still 
be read by every browser ...ok, every major browser :)
