Thanks for the heads up Doug. This sounds like something I could definitely get a lot of use out of. I look forward to the article. By the way, I attended 2 of your sessions at FoxTeach and got some great practical ideas I'm putting into use now, and thought I'd pass along my thanks.

Fortunately, if you can wait a couple of months, I've got an article in FoxTalk that'll make this very easy. It's a set of report objects. You instantiate the main report object, add bands to it, add objects in those bands, and set properties for those objects. It exposes the entire FRX as an object, so it's very easy to use. It'll be in the June 1999 issue.
