I imagined that if I added a cursor to the dataenvironment as follows...

select R_ProgForm  && created with "CREATE CURSOR..." at run-time
thisform.dataenvironment.AddObject('C_Progform', 'cursor')
thisform.dataenvironment.C_progform.cursorSource= DBF('R_Progform')
thisform.dataenvironment.C_progform.alias= 'R_ProgForm'
* test report...
modify report rpt\progform
thisform.dataenvironment.RemoveObject('C_Progform')

I would see the available tables in the report designer. Not only can't I see it, but I cant see any tables at all in the exression builder. Didn't this dialogue used to have a table selector in VFP5.
This makes building reports at run-time almost impossible.

My report has not got a private datasession.
