Jeff,

I would propose that you do not use the data environment for reports. Before you run the report (or design it, for that matter), execute a SQL statement into a cursor. Inside of the report itself, there is no need put the table name (or cursor name) in front each field. That way you can name the cursor anything you want and it won't break the report.

For more ideas on this, see:
