And still one more: If your report datasession is set to PRIVATE the report won't be able to see your cursor.

>>Few 'debug' ideas:
>>1. Issue Browse command before REPORT FORM just to check that you really grabbed data into cursor. If data is there, then the problem is inside REPORT Form.
>>2. If problem is in SELECT..., it might be that CLOSE DATA before SELECT creates problems: SELECT will automatically open table Reforg on default path (may it should go to another one?).
