Mohammad,

First, I'm wondering why you feel you NEED to use tables to set up
your report output.  There are easier ways, depending upon what you
are trying to accomplish.

But, having said that, if you are dead set on tables/arrays, it sounds
like you need (to be really confused) to use a multiple occurance data
structure, with an accompanying index array.

I was going to put in an example, but I see someone else has already
done it for me (thanks, Eric)

Good luck, and keep those questions coming.  We're more than willing
to help.

Rick
