>Thanks. Yes I know I could do it via a cursor in VFP, but in this case I want to avoid changing the exe because the application was already released. Instead I'm trying to accomplish this by editing the existing report. So you don't think there is a way to do this with standard FRX functions?

Sorry, I overlooked that pert of yr message.
Perhaps something can be done with report variables but I don't hv anything ready made. Folow the tread Sergey gave you, you might strike some idea that
resolves your problem.
Since you are letting user customise reports, then maybe you should
consider making one release in the future with completely precalculated
cursors as I suggested before.
