1. Is there any chance this will be back ported to 3x?

2. Is there a way to add a template for a single row query to be able to produce something like a invoice ?

Okay - got why you are not backporting it - could you do me a favor and talk a little about how the module works - i need some sort of reporting to incorporate into a module and so far have had no real luck - heres what I have tried so far

1. Created a server control the module loads dynamically so each report would be its own project and could be loaded kind of like modules are -

     PROBLEMS so far: control loads fine but buttons on the control never fire (have an export to excel button and feature)

2. Created a new page in the module and set it up

         PROBLEMS: this works perfectly for the most part - the export grabs the whole site but it sort of works - real problem is the data colected by the module is so variable that we have lots of reports of different kinds and new ways to do each report that redoing the module every day or time is not really viable

3. Created Reporting Services reports

        PROBLEMS: works but one of our main queries is so complex (crosstab query) that the report we have tried to create keeps failing and we cant find any good info on what to do

If you could talk about what you are doing and how you achieve it maybe I coulod get some good ideas

TIA

Got ya on what you are doing which is what i did in the first idea I had

Heres an idea for you if you want to make this configurable and useful beyond simple grid reports

for queries that return a single row have a replacement template engine that will cycle through the query and the template and replace known tags such as [first_name] with a value from the database

for queries where a grid is appropriate adapt the template engine to do a grid with some sort of table designation for the template such as:

[grid]

[first_name][last_name][username]

[/grid]

here [grid] would tell the template engine to make a datagrid and fill it with rows from the query in the order the tags are in

or even a xml type of fragment could be used - im not good with XML yet so not sure how that might look
