Ok, I'm trying to get my report working per the instructions at the link 
above.  However, I've changed it a bit because instead of having 
paragraphs display in my columns, I have tables that I want to snake 
around the columns.  So, where this doc refers to paragraphs in the 
'items' list, I'm appending tables.  But, when I get to the 
document.build(posts) statement, I get the following dump:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\PyWork\Motion\motion\utility\priceSheet.py", line 187, in 
<module>
    priceSheets(filename)
  File "C:\PyWork\Motion\motion\utility\priceSheet.py", line 178, in 
priceSheets
    go(doc, c)
  File "C:\PyWork\Motion\motion\utility\priceSheet.py", line 167, in go
    doc.build(allData)
  File 
"c:\python25\lib\site-packages\reportlab\platypus\doctemplate.py", line 
749, in build
    tr.srcFile,
AttributeError: Field instance has no attribute 'srcFile'

I'm stumped as to where I should look for the problem.  Can anyone give 
me any clues?
