>>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.

Another workaround for displaying form properties in a report is:

PUBLIC MYFORM
MYFORM=THISFORM
*
* in the report, include MYFORM.mBeDATE, MYFORM.mEndDate, and so on
*
MYFORM=.NULL.
RELEASE MYFORM
