Thanks, I'll give that a try.
On my form, the user specifies the selection criteria and format for a report to be created. I then DO a program that
creates the appropriate report. I have always used public variables for passing the information from the form to
the program.
Since I am new at this, I think that I am still too much in the mindset of the old FoxPro development paradigm and
need to work harder on understanding and making use of Object Oriented programming paradigms.
Thanks for your help.
