In a frmRepByEmp, I have set up for the user to make an employee selection from cboEmpNo and a date range selection from txtBegDate and txtEndDate. The ControlSources for txtBegDate and txtEndDate are memory variables mBegDate & mEndDate, respectively.

When in the Report Designer, I notice that the Data Environment is not the same as it is in the Form I have set up to call this report from. Consequently, field name listings are not availble. Also, mBegDate & mEndDate are not available.

Is there something I can do about this at design time in the Report Designer, or do I just go ahead and reference fields and variables that the Report Designer doesn't know about at design time? TIA, CH.
