Thanks, Mark.

This is kind of answer I expected to hear. So basically it conforms, that it could not be done in VFP Report Writer. Not a big deal, because I'm thinking, we should use our global object properties for this purpose anyway. These properties are just not available at this moment (should be designed first).

Thanks for your help.

>No. When I allow a user input to shape the report output, I use a form to collect user input with a GO button that creates the report variables, requery() a view with filter parameters, etc., then runs the report. This gives me more options to persent to the user and is more friendly than just a prompt.
