Tom and George,

No problem -- let's see what we can do - I'll keep you all
in touch with how things are going and if/when I am ready,
I'll have it available for all 2005 users..

Tom - the reason for removal of the small band/mode summary,
was that it slowed down the report badly - so we just removed
it.  That's the only problem when it comes to "number-crunching".
the Crystal Report programs begin to slow down severely.. So,
for the sake of timeliness - we got rid of that -- it seems
just like yesterday - but that was back in Sept 2004 that we made
the K2TA version of the report! How time flies!! LOL!

More later..
