Craig,
I appreciate your comments, and I'm sorry, but this may just be an issue of me still trying to understand the OO programming enviorn. I'm still uncertain as to how to use a view in the way you descibe. Here is a simplified example of my problem:
In my app I have a view (lv_View) where the selection criteria includes a variable, for example:
Year Between ?gnStartYear,?gnEndYear
Ok, I have form where they enter the years. Then it has two buttons, Print, Cancel. If they select print my code is:
Report form ThisReport preview
In the report writer the data enviorn is lv_View and the fields are selected from the view. Where, in this, would I use Reccount(), since I never actually use:
Select * from ThisDBF where ...
I just reference the view in the report writer. Does this make sense?
Thanks again.
Rob
