    have you considered using reporting services? it supports all types of advanced/rich formatting.

    Wouldn't it be easier to change the color of a cell using "conditional formatting"?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
