>Hi, does anyone know how I can use an array in the report designer. I could fill it before calling the report but don't know how to reference it (pass it as a parameter?). Or, I could fill it in the INIT of the report's dataenvironment (still can't reference it). Any ideas?

The scope (lifetime) of arrays is similar with the scope of any other variable. So, it depends on the way you declare the array and, of course, on where you declare the array (the structure of your app).

Basically there are 2 ways to declare an array:
DIMENSION MyArray[x]
it will create a private array. (Equivalent to DECLARE MyArray[x]). The array will be destroied when the procedure/function that creates it will finish.

PUBLIC MyArray[x]
it will create a public array. The array will be destroied when:
1. RELEASE MyArray is executed
2. FoxPro session is terminated

So, in your case, the array must be available (like any other variable) in the procedure/function/method where the REPORT FORM is executed.
