We've had the same problem. Since reporting is such a pain in OPO we did this:

Make a temporary table which holds one line of text, and use this in your report.

Basically, use 3 columns. #1 for userid or sessionid (ie. if you have several users), #1 for numbering
the lines and use 'orderby' property on this. #3 column holds the text line.

Seems a little messy, but it works.

BTW beware on how to split the multiline text, you know qutes and such..

BTW BTW: For most of our reports we ended up doing them manuallly, ie. building an OS file and
printing this thru an editor (RTF & Wordpad on Windows 95). Talk about workaround!!
