Hmm, table printing is a tricky topic, which I had planned to tackle in the next functional revision of Quartam Reports. Right now, the only way that you can mimic a table field is by carefully laying out lines to give you the appearance you need.

If your table has a fixed number of lines, it should be pretty easy to do - and you could even use a set of rectangles. But if the number of lines is variable, it's going to require some puzzling with lines, and splitting your table data into a single 'detail record' per line.

Give it a try and drop me a note if you can't figure it out.

Ah... I will be tring, no easy for me but never impossible! On the other hand, when print a field, is it possible to keep layout ( bold text, tab, italique...)?

Regards
