Any particular reason you need all 11 years on one page rather than a
page for each?

Anyway, if you do want to do it that way, I think your problem is trying
to use 2 tables when you only need one. To do what you are trying in a
single table try:

<TABLE>
<TR>
<TH COLSPAN="4">Year 1</TH><TH COLSPAN="4">Year 2</TH> etc...
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>section1</TD><TD>section2</TD><TD>section3</TD><TD>section4</TD>
<TD>section1</TD><TD>section2</TD><TD>section3</TD><TD>section4</TD>
etc..
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>section1</TD><TD>section2</TD><TD>section3</TD><TD>section4</TD>
<TD>section1</TD><TD>section2</TD><TD>section3</TD><TD>section4</TD>
etc..
</TR>
</TABLE>

This will give you a header line where each column takes the space of 4
columns under it.

HTH,

Chris
