1.  create and run the report from a virtual file
2.  use arrays to hold the gathered data
3.  do the lookups and selections and load the array(s)
4.  when all records finished, loop thru the array(s) and print or 
export line by line.

you will use dummy fields and arrays to hold and print the data in the 
virtual file and on the report or export.


Hope that helps,
