No offense taken, I try to use export myself , not only to save IS
resources, but also to gain an insight into where the data comes from. I

Thanks Ron -nothing personal about the "controller" thing-
Yes I am using the export approach, but I have been asked to be able
to Add other fields, and though I can do most of this, it has taken
up Too Much of my time trying to sort through all of the data, as
well as through Many different reports and time frames (I was looking
for a way to speed it up a bit)
Thank you for the Help ---->Kevin Fitzpatrick<------
