Barbara,

I do best with control source as MyFieldname rather than MyCursor.MyFieldname. That way you can print from any cursor that has the fields. Less typing too!

But when I am in the Report Designer, the only things I seem to be able to assign to the Data Environment are tables and views. How can I explain to the report that I am going to be creating a cursor for it at runtime?
