Output of a Reporter (old) is ...
---------------------------------------------------------------
JOB# DATE EMP# EMPLOYEE NAME REG OT DT AMOUNT
HOURS HOURS HOURS

1000 07/25/2010 25081 ANTHONY JONES 8546.00 2704.00 532.20 253331.85
-----------------------------------------------
The report sorts on Job, Date, Emp# and prints a total on EMP# breaks.
=================================================================
1) Customers are always complaining that they get confused by the print out because the JOB#, DATE, EMP#, and EMPLOYEE NAME fields print data.

2) It's worse when the output is to a CSV file. The extra break lines should not be written at all. The user has to be trained to ferret out these extra lines before they can start doing their Excel work.

3) The printed report columns uses "fields titles". But, CSV columns get the "field name".
