Dan,
Wow!  That worked fine.  Thanks.
However, I had to copy and paste the database data from the Data Source 
window into the Calc spreadsheet.  Is there a way to dynamically get the 
current data to the spreadsheet so I don't have to cut and paste every 
time I have new data?
If so, it would be a lot less error-prone (and easier).  However, I can 
see that not being able to do so, is not a show-stopper for using Calc 
to do my reports.
Note that the data copy, although it took a little time, was *much* 
faster than Report Builder!  :-)
I am going to have to play with this some more...
Thanks very much.
Girvin
