Thanks for the tips. Sorry I didn't get back to you earlir - endless 
meetings at work. I somehow blew right past the "trunk" directory and 
got into the vendors sub-directory of the branches directory. There is a 
version in there with different functionality. I figured out I was 
barking up the wrong tree (branch?) pretty quickly.

I am going ot head home, and have a go at breaking up the table 
vertically tomorrow, if there is not a better way to handle it (if 
someone has a copy of "longtables.py", I would appreciate a copy - it 
will save me the trouble of re-formating the one from the web archive of 
the mailing list).

I did want to mention that I think that reportlab is one of the coolest 
products I have ever worked with (the last product I used that saved me 
this much trouble were the NCBI database front-ends and functionality 
built into biopython), and it makes generating reports from databases 
(which I have been doing forever) a joy.

I am going to use it for the kids school newsletter as well, just 
because the results are that nice.

Thanks for reportlab, and all your help.

Cheers,

JP
