Hi Kevin,

Thank you for your message and for your approach.

I have what I am sure is very basic question. How do you "specify a dataset or XML at design time"? That is, say in one of the methods of the page class I create a dataset MyDataSet which has a table MyTable with fields MyField1 and MyField2. Now I am in the CR design mode and can't seem to figure out how to add this dataset/table. When I Right-Mouse click on the Details Section and then on Database I don't see an item Add/Remove Database. This is where I am stuck.

I will search for explanation on "report parameter fields" as this is a new concept for me.

Thank you for your help.
