Also, presuming ACT has a reasonable filing system, the next time
someone is working on a particular module it is possible for them
to look at outstanding reports to see if any of them naturally fit
well with what they are working on.  That might be efficient.

There is absolutely no chance of them doing that if the report is
in your file rather than theirs.
