>>I hate to say this, but, you are going to have to learn enough about R&R to do what you want. The basic answer to your question is YES you can prompt or collect paramaters in your VFP ap and pass them to R&R. But, you can't do it without knowing how.

It depends on what version of R&R and method you are using in the report to get the value. My current experience is with Fox 2.6 so I have to use the parameter DBF. You can populate the .DBF parameter field with the value you want from your ap prior to running the report. Or, you can just allow R&R to prompt by putting a Question Mark in the parameter field.

Also, for queries there is a field to pass a query parameter also. I think this would be even easier with the .DLL. Do you get FoxAdvisor... a recent issue had some how to's for using the R&R activeX control to print reports.
