Hi Edward,

i wnat to learn more from u,

the process of reporting in my system as below:

*** report01.PRG
MSTATUS = 1
MDATA_FR = DATE()-DAY(DATE())+1
MDATE_TO = DATE
DO FORM RPT001 LINKED TO M_ABORT
IF M_ABORT
RETURN
ENDIF
REPOR FORM RPT__01 TO PRINT FOR STATUS=MSTATUS .AND. ;
BETW(DOC_DATE,MDATE_FR,MDATE_TO)
***

You can see, i run a .prg first. So i had define the MSTATUS before i access the screen form. (cause i can not get the Optiongroup.value in my .prg

As you told me, we can use the Optiongroup.value at the end. That meaning we must put the REPO FORM into the screen form.

Now i want to know, which way is better for us (programmer)
