A client wants to be able to create a stock donation thank you letter, using database fields.

Dear [donor_name),
Thank you for you recent donation of {amt}.. blah blah blah...

What is the best approach to set this up in CCS?
A report?
A regular grid?

Just trying to wrap my head around it before I start off on some pointless path. :)

Thanks!

You could definitely use either but my question to you is how is the client going to send this thank you letter?? email?? real letter?? And what is the environment that you are developing this in??

They want the flexibility for both, but most importantly they want it mailed.
PHP/MYSQL is the environment.

What version of MySQL are you using (I may have a suggestion)??

Have you considered doing the letters in PDF?? Checkout my example (click reports on the menu bar): http://forums.codecharge.com/posts.php?post_id=74329

I believe it is 4.0 but I could upgrade to 5.0 no problem if need be.
Will look at your example in depth tomorrow.
