>Also, I haven't seen the October issue of FoxPro Advisor. Do you have an email copy of the article or can u suggest where I can find it?

I can't email you the article, because the copyright belongs to Advisor. But you can order back issues as well as all article of one year on a CD. Check out www.advisor.com.

>I had another response about setting the variable as a Public variable and calling it from the report. Would this be an easier way to do it?

It's sufficient to set the variable private.
