Will do. Your other tip aselobj() would be freakin great if it worked for Report designer as well... But RD is not OOP.
Good thing that RD is at least published in source now

Copy one or more controls at the time between Report and Form and vice versa.

I have spent quiet a bit of time in these swamps... :) Whatever solution might be possible it will have to do with Report Designer
code.
Will see.
