Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ longtable, multirow | Page Width exceeded

[adhraklasoon]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a longtable with multirow. So far its worked but the last column is exceeding page width. I've tried various things, but was unsuccessful. Please please help! I've really spent too much time and don't know why I didn't think of asking the LaTeX Community! (duh)

I have attached the tex and pdf files.


Cheers
