Can client select which fields they want in report?

[Kurtosdf]

Is there a way that I can create a form with check boxes by all availabe fields and by selecting some of the checkboxes determines what is displayed in a report?

Thanks

Like the commercial for "Tic-Tac" says, "Yes - but I wouldn't advise it".

But more importantly, there are a number of other issues to define before making a definitive statement.

1.[tab]Do you just want to suppress the display of the fields, or actually include/exclude different fields based on the check boxes?

2.[tab]Assuming this is an actual selection for inclusion/exclusion, Do you need to locate the fields in a specific order? Would this be "Fixed" by the checkboxes (i.e. each checked item would be associated w/ a specific "Field Order Number" and this would determine the Order)?

3.[tab]Assuming (again!) that we are discussing and inclusion/exclusion model, what should be done when/if the included set exceeds the form/report width? Not let this occur, wrap the fields to a second line, or just let the user make a messy form/report?

4.[tab]What do you expect for "column headers" over each of the fields?

5.[tab] ... Many additional details, however this should give you a feel for the details which would be necessary.
