Robin,
If it helps the suggestion any, it is not NON US residents who have been
requesting this. There are a few of us US citizens wanting it too.

Caroline,

Please resubmit this item as an enhancement request (WISH) with a
definitive subject line. Send a copy to or to
Bob
Velke direct - don't rely on it being seen on TMG-L. It is the best that

way for Bob Velke to get the message that there are users who don't want
to
be limited to formats that are "accepted" in the USA. The more detail
that
you can provide about the style and options of the report (and give
published examples of the style) that is needed, the more chance that
you
have of it being considered. That evaluation will not happen until after

the TMG 5 CD is released.
