[Quoted] We have a requirement to print summaries of numeric fields at the bottom of many reports.

Reports handles simple things like average, sum etc. quite OK. But what [Quoted] if I want a median ? I could either re-read the database and calculate it
myself (slow !!) but I don't want to do this ! The database is several gigabytes. I want to be able to re-access Reports own fields after printing
them - like in re-processing an array.

[Quoted] Are there any sneaky ways to do this ? I can do it with Forms really easily. Why not Reports ???

[Quoted] Any ideas would be really welcome !!!
