>You can open a report as a table programatically and add fields for columns.. then close the table and run the report. I used the technique to generate a report automatically, based on grid columns. My reports are first displayed using a grid on a form. This enables you to provide drill down upto data entry.

this is what I just want to do in last case.. But in anycase, would you mind to share here the code on how are you doing this?

thanks
