This workaround would be ok if it was just myself designing the reports...
Unfortunately, my client will not be so happy with this.
This functionality is make-or-break as far as my client is concerned - if 
there's any possibility of upping the priority on this, it's got my vote!

Might I ask your opinion on how much work it would be, and what would be 
involved, to implement this?  I *might* be interested in doing this myself... 
or if too tough for me (not without giving it a good go :), even 
commissioning someone else (yourself?) to do this.

Cheers,
Cerion
