Hi Steve,

>I didn't know I could declare the variable PUBLIC and use it in the report by referencing its variable name lcStartDate. I wonder if LOCAL variables can be used in a report also. I haven't tried that one, but I doubt that would work.

Actually, (this is the third time saying this today!) any variable will work, if the variable is in scope before the report is ran. So LOCAL or PRIVATE.

>I am not sure where Sauk Rapids is?

Right in the middle, by St. Cloud.

>I don't see many SD programmers out here. You're as close as it gets.
