Roland,
To expand on Trey's answer a little: Use a private datasession in the main form, and open all the tables there. Use the Default datasession for the child form and do not put ANY tables into its dataenvironment. It will see all the tables in the Main form. Then be sure that when you call your report that a) the correct table is open and on the right record and b) you do NOT have 'private datasession' set in the report (check the Report menu) and c) that you do NOT have any tables in the report's dataenvironment.
