>You can define parameter fields with a report. IF you give them the same name of the variables used in your program, you can use the following code to pass the values of the VFP variables to the Report:

>WITH crReport.ParameterFields
> FOR nT= 1 TO .Count
> cName=.Item(nT).ParameterFieldName
> IF TYPE(cName) # "U"
> .item(nT).SetCurrentValue(EVAL(cName))
> ENDIF
> ENDFOR
>ENDWITH

>02) Can I use CR to do index for VFP DBF files.

>You can. However I did discover some difficulties with relations and CDX files. IDX indexfiles seems to do the job well.

>I strongly suggest making a class to handle communication with CR reports.
