>>>>What I want to do is take some data in a variable created in the Init of a report and use it in the Destroy of a report. In a form I would just create a property of the form and use it. Can't do that here I don't think. Other than using a global variable or passing it in a temporary cursor, how can it be done? Or can it?

Yeah but...... I could. I just object to using an app object to contain what should be a local property. I mean where do you stop. As I implied in my question, I have a way or two to solve this problem, I am just checking to see if I missed anything. I like elegant and what I propose to do ain't elegant ;-))
