>Are you sure COPY MEMO is doing what you want? What is in WinRpt.FRX and WinRpt.FRT? Are they regular report files, or are FRX and FRT names of memo fields of WinRpt that contain the names of the reports? How can a text file with the extention of .FRX/.FRT be turned into a report?

The winrpt and winrptmemo are actual memo fields of a table (mr - misc. reports). After I create a particular report I use the following commands to store the reports in the table:

APPEND MEMO winrpt FROM ReportName.frx OVERWRITE
APPEND MEMO winrptmemo FROM ReportName.frt OVERWRITE

This has the effect of storing the actual report in the table. The main reason for doing it this way is that the reports can be distributed with the application with the ability to be edited if the user so desired.

Each time a report is run these memo fields are copied out of the table and then the report is run. Does this make more sense?
