Mike,
Yes, that's exactly what you can do.
I don't know of a good reference of exactly what they all mean. Only about a dozen fields are needed for what you are trying to do. Like I said before create a report, add a few components, set their comments. Then open the report file with a USE TheReport.frx and go browsing around.
>You are telling me that I can create a .frx file and run it through “Report form *.frx” at run time. If so is there a sample out there? What do all those fields mean? ….etc….
