Belle,
Yes, I have used it before, and it has been ok, but not perfect. I
think the real answer to your original question is that no matter what,
if you want a report to retain all the formatting and graphics, and at
the same time be editable, this is difficult to achieve. With Stephen
Lebans' utility that I referred you to, you have to put the ReportSpecs
mde file on your computer, and set a Reference to it from your
application. And then, I'm not experienced enough myself to advise
specifically, so all you can do is play around with the ReportUtilities
form in the mdb file which is included in the download, try out the
various options, and see if you can figure out how to make it do the
same thing in your database.
