Andrew,

I tried your solution, but that didn't work. The situation is thus: I have a project in a directory; the database resides in a subdirectory, and the report resides in yet another subdirectory, i.e.: Main, Data, Reports (Data and Reports are on the same level). I go to Data, invoke the database I need (use it). I scatter memvar. I then return to Main, modi proj myproject, select the report I need to modify, use the ab tool to get the expression builder, and, voila, no field names show up.

Regards,

Joe
