>Yeah, already selected into cursor and made that work. I'm to the point where I really hate the report writer. They wrote some cool stuff like the dynamics, but what we really could have used was some basic functionality improvements.

You might also try using a PRIVATE variable in the routine that calls your report form. It won't go out of scope like the LOCAL will. I have several static variables passed to reports with this method.
