Hey, its dbreport.  That is a nice application, I've used it quite alot (other
than the fact that it is always seg faulting on me).  That interface is quite
usable,  but it is a bit bewildering to newbies.  I wasn't aware that dbreport
offered any method in the UI to do joins, nests, etc... curious to see how you
would work that in (or maybe my version of dbreport is ancient).
