    Wannabe you write an awful lot of assignments and reports :eek: I do hope you manage them each time and the lists are new clients, not yesterdays uncompleted lists? (There's nowt wrong with carrying forward, but you have a heck of a workload unless they're simple?)

    Anyway I'll stop being nosy :o and wish you all Good Morning :wave:

    I'm pleased to say that the reports are for new clients and not carried forward ones :j.
