>i have a pre-defined filter string that i need to use in a report form. how do i 'plug' the variable that holds the filter string into the cursor.filter property in the report designer Data Environment?? i have tried &cSearch and (cSearch) etc, but they all bring up errors.

Ko has given you a solution. But in general when entering property values in the property sheet, VFP is looking for literals. So in cases like this, if the variable holding the string is "cSearch", try entering "=cSearch" ( no quotes ) in the property sheet.
