I beg to differ. There are two very real advantages to using the CRW
Log, that are lost in TMG5. First, it allows you to sort the list of
reports any way you want, so you can put frequently used reports at
the top of the list.

The second, as Lee says, is that you can re-run a report by just
hitting the enter key, which is very handy, especially for reports
like the LoP, where you often need to try several times to get the
filters just right, or need to run a series of runs to set flags. Or,
if you are running a descendants report with multiple focus persons
and need to fiddle with the sort routine to get it the way you want
it.

For that reason I never run reports from the menu, but only from the
CRW Log.
