>In this case the cursor IS the .frx. I think the problem is that while DBF(cursorname) will return a .tmp file in the temp directory that file may not actually exist on disk. It might be cached in memory. I think this is a case where you have to write out an actual table and use that as the report. I don't know of a way to force a cursor (even a writable one) to disk or to run a report from an alias.

Yes, you're right, I wasn't paying close attention :) But it doesn't work...I even tried using a table, and still no go. Report Form seems to demand (or should I say assume) an FRX file. Or could be a problem that the FRT doesn't exist?
