Rachel07, Just take a look at the tracker for iReport... http://jasperforge.org/sf/sfmain/do/go/artf1821 B) Be careful - I haven't been working (really unfortunately) on JasperReports since one year as I changed my employment a bit though the patch is still against the 1.2.7. Maybe Teodor knows if there is now a feature enabling exactly what my "quick and dirty" patch did. Regards, Thorsten
