Hi Doug;

If so, then I'm guessing that REPMETA isn't complete -- either it has no fields defined or only some fields (USE REPMETA and browse to see what's in there). Do you have a public variable called oMeta that contains a DBCXMgr instance when you run the SFReports form, or somewhere in your form are you setting oMeta so SDT can be found?

My sfwizard form is based on the SFRWIZARD class. I have set the ometa = oMeta (which is how it is instanciated within Visual Fox Extend). When I browse REPMETA, it looks ok near as I can tell.
