Thanks Mark... not quite what I wanted to hear. But it is what I suspected.
It just seems like such a simple thing for MS to do and it would increase the
flexibility of the reporting significantly from the source record.

Do you know who I can classify this post for "future enhancement"
consideration by MS?

I don't think that this can be done. I think you're going to have
to build custom reports that do exactly what you want them to do.
After doing this for several years, I've got a fairly large set of
"Favorite Reports" that do exactly what I want them to do. I rarely
have to go in and customize them.

I have been using M2006 for a year and an bit and have the following question.

I want to be able to control the inclusion or exclusion of a category in a
report from the category itself. I realize I can customize a report, but if I
have a category that I do not want in any reports it would be easier to just
exclude it. Meaning it would be excluded from all reports unless I
specifically customized a report to include it. Ying and yang so to speak.

Basically, I want to control the reporting characteristics of the category
from within the category and not from within the report. Sounds like a simple
thing to do.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
