>I'm trying to get modify report to run from a compiled application. I get the report designe on the screen, but I all of the controls and view options are greyed out. How do I rememdy this. (I'm trying to allow my customers to modify the reports.) I have all of the reports in the project but excluded from the .exe file. TIA.

Joe,
Pardon me for suggesting something so obvious, but is the report excluded from your project. I think it has to be. HTH
