Wrong< i gave you the answer, i told you precosely where the limitations come from and what the answers would be. Bigger Box, Multi-Page format. WEhat I hear you saying and maybe I am wrong, ius that you want the data to come to you in a ready made form which meets your needs and and you have to do nothing more to it than write your report.. I hope I am wrong, but that is what I am hearing. The simplest possible standard that could be readily applied by all for Contribution without a lot of libo dancing and trying to figure out what worked and what didn't and what exceptions might come up is what was developed. It was also recognized that that would not suit everyone , in fact it was recognized that NO answer would suit EVERYONE, if another standard had been adopted, someone would be whining about that and their complaint would be evry bit as valid as yours.

You pointed out what you thought was a conflict and I proved you wrong in very short order. I then provided you the answer. If you run a local database that follows the Rules, and I don't, then will get ready-made data, anything else and you will have to tinker with the data yourself to get it the way you want it. Sorry, Mathias.

You will have to manually reconstruct your data to achieve the result you desire in the report, Mathias. As for the Details View, I will look into that and see if i can sort that out out for you.

You might be right, about me not playing in your league, I play in  the pros not the minors. Don't talke it personally, mathias, you poked me in the ribs, I poked back.

Not worth it.

personal opinion here... but I personally prefer it the way it is now... I like seeing it only in the way of the end credits. To me... it is more accurate to the disc itself... and I like that.

Of course... I don't have a PDA and I don't use reports... so I don't see those problems myself.

Ok, I respect that. But why "more accurate"? The Cast would be exactly the same either way.

Thios doe not even factor in the HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of man-hours that have been spent so far that you are saying very cavalierly, just throw it all out and redo it all.

Not necessarily. If it was done m.cellophane's way, we would just *add* the opening credits before the ending credits, separated by a divider, not "throw it all out and redo" at all.

It seems totally feasible to me. It is not changing/destroying any existing data that has time invested into it, but adding data to provide functionality for reports, layouts and details.

I would certainly support this as optional functionality - ie if it was optional whether it showed in your cast lists or not.
