No.  There is not a built-in customization tool available within Directory and Resource Reporting.  Because the report information is held in a Microsoft Access database, however, the existing reports can be customized or new reports can be generated using the retail version of Access itself.

To perform this, verify Microsoft Access is installed on a client machine alone with Directory and Resource Reporting.  Launch Directory and Resource Reporting and perform a standard import.  Once it is complete, select the Enter Design Mode option from the File drop-down menu.  This will open a standard Microsoft Access database view.  From here, custom queries and display forms can be created to present the imported data in the desired format.

For documentation on the data structure of the database, select Documenter from the Tools/Analyze drop-down menu within Access 97, 2000 or 2003.
