OK, now I see the logic behind the functions. Don't necessarily agree with it, but at least I see it. I guess I'll just have to live with what we have. As far as Crystal Reports, if I remember right from year before last when I was checking out reporting options, I would have gotten it to begin with and been done with it ... except for the gosh-awful price. We're a small church and simply can't afford it. I seem to remember something about GridView but can't place it.
Oh well. Thanks for your help.
