Hello,

I am learning the ropes with LBI and have found this forum to be most valuable.  We have some VPs and Directors who insist on seeing the detail for their cost centers on back office RW100, GL291, AP275 and Crystal using the MM280.rpt as data source. 

Some of these reports are over 1000 pages.  What options do I have in LBI to present a large report to a user?  I'm just learning the concepts of publications, instances, and historical reports. 

Any ideas will be most appreciated.

Straight forward Lawson response is to use the Element and Structure components in LBI Report Administration. Confirm the Lawson report is burstable, Appendix A in the Reporting Services user guide. Lessons learned however, you will need to make sure that the options / parameters used to create the batch report actually create the bursting tags you want to filter on. Some SUMMARY parameters will not or they may not be practical.
