Hi Roxanne,

Thanks for your help, but I'm still having the same darned problem. It is such a simple report that I just created a new one, using private vars for the textboxes, and it STILL opens the Open dialog box. I'm tempted just to throw one of my free tables into the data enviroment and be done with it.
