>Hi. I'm new at VFP6 and want to do something clever but don't have the foggiest clue how to accomplish this. I have a report driver screen that lists a number of reports and allows the user to select the appropriate report. (So far so good...) Once the user highlights the report title I want to display options on the lower portion of the screen. These are report specific options and I would like to put the code (that builds the objects - like a date range, or a picklist) into a database and extract the code from there. I figure that way I will only have to code one screen and whenever I add a new report, I will only need to add the code into that database. I know it must be possible to do since VFP is all databases anyways but can anyone tell me how to do this?? (I'm slow so explain in fairly good detail.)

YOu could probably do what you want to do with some difficulty, but I would aproach it a bit differently: create a table that stores report names and the names of corresponding report forms. YOu can then visually create a form for each report that needs special procesing, and when hte user selects a certain report, just do the form listed in the table for that report...

Otherwise, you will be hand coding a bunch of AddObject code and manually setting locations, properties, etc, and then messing with getting your code to compile at runtime.
