Hi Andreas,

I don't let users change VFP reports. When this sort of feature is required, I leave them a Word document to play with, with the condition they don't remove any bookmark...

That said, if the problem is within the DataEnv, you could overcome this by preparing a cursor on the application side and do nothing in the dataenv. That works.
