When I removed the alias from the table in the DE of the report VFP suggested I reference fields like _.Myfield. But when I ran the form and tried to send the query to the report I got an alias_ does not exist. I also tried naming the alias of the DE of the form the same as the DE in the report but I got an error message saying Alias already used. The problem has been that when the report does go through it selects all 5000+ records instead of just those in the query.
