That works, thankyou.
There is another issue I am trying to work around and I would be greatful for your help. The issue is as follows:
I have a report where the number of columns may vary from one instance of the report to another. The only work around I can think of within the framework was to use the '_cm_output_multi' function and to define in the report structure file a number of zones such as multiK, multiK+1,...multiN where K is the minimum number of columns and N is the maximum number of possible columns.
In the function I will always know the number of columns to output and so having determined that I would output the data as an array/resultset only in the multiK+X zone.
I attempted to use the 'ignore_if_empty' flag in the style for all my zones with data only in the multiK+X zone. I had expected that this would lead the other zones not to appear and that using this method I could resolve the issue of a dynamic number of columns for my report.
However, the 'ignore_if_empty' flag did not work as I expected. Is this a bug? Or if not is there another workaround?

I am using the following function to change the column count at run time:
function _cm_pre_output($filename)
{
array_pop($this->report_structure['multi1']['fields'][0]);
return $filename;
} // _cm_pre_output
One can then have a single report structure file with N number of columns defined in it and call the function:
array_pop($this->report_structure['multi1']['fields'][0]);
Y times such that N-Y = K.

I am stumbling on another issue in my report and I wonder if this one is possible:
I need to create a report with multiple cells per line, such that the first three cells fill the entire height of the line, but the cells that follow are made up of 3 vertically stacked sub-cells within a cell.
In HTML this can be achieved using the rowspan attribute. Is there a way to achieve the same effect within the radicore framework?
