Hi Bob,
>>4. When the above query is run, is the query passed through the ODBC driver or is all of the data retrieved and then filtered by the report ? I notice that there is a property called sqlquerystring, but it appears to contain more than an sql statement, and again I can't find any documentation for it.

That's true at the moment, but I will be using Oracle 9i by the end of this month on a fairly large project.

Best.

Matt.
