>That's what I thought, I just put it in my base form class, and don't worry about it anymore actually, just on reports with private DS;by the way how come we can't make reports out of classes, by now they shoulda come up with that don't you guys think?

You can still subclass your base form class as report wrapper class: some invisible form with subclassed DE and some PEMs: e.g. oReport.Reportformname, oReport.Preview, oReport.Print etc.
