OIC....I thought you meant the FOR condition in the REPORT command. OK. Well, you could define cCompVal as PUBLIC and then you can use it all you like in the report snippets and properties.

>How would you reference a form from a report's "print when" . . . something like:
>data1.siz = documents.forms.ship1.pageframe1.page2.sz1.displayvalue

>>In the click of the CommandButton next to the Combo:
>>
>>cCompVal = ALLT(This.Parent.DisplayValue)
>>REPORT FORM myreport TO PRINT FOR mytable.field = cCompVal
>>
>>
>>>I want the user to make a choice in the combo, press a button next to it, and in the click event, have code that runs the report. the report then will print only the records that have a field that match the combo selection. (the field will of course be specified in the print when)
