Reports & Report designer
>>Well, along those lines, let me ask you this. I have been trying today to see how much manipulation is possible of variables (either local or those defined in the report designer) to create details which are outside of what I get with a cursor. (I hope that makes sense...The cursor as it stands for the report is correct; I'm trying to get a little more blood out of the turnip:) To give you a specific example, I was trying to see if I could create a string of last names (or array if that's possible) at the detail level of the report. I was trying to do this using a report variable, but it seems like those variables are all numeric, so I couldn't get my desired results.

Thanks Rick - that's basically what I did, but the value type where all the fields were listed seemed to show any variables I created as "N". Is that your experience as well, or am I seeing something different?
