Hi Mark
I thought of that, but as I said the users have a lot or records to edit; they're not very IT-savvy either, so they'll get confused with a lot of new windows.

When your users are editing the record I assume they are doing more than just checking a box or  setting a date field to today but they are actually entering data by hand? The reason I ask is if it was possible to edit the record by pushing a button and then there would be a good solution.

      Are the filters for the initial report done with dynamic filters or using an <ask the user > type report.

        It could be done either way; currently using dynamic filter but no reason why it couldn't be an 'ask the user' one if that makes it easier to achievethe end result.
