>>I have a grid on my form that is based on a view and I want to print a simple report of what shows in the grid. I used the Report Wizard to design a report from this view. The report contains ONLY fields from this view. In my Print button on my form, I simply say:
>>
>>select MyView
>>report form PrintView to print noconsole
>>
>>For some unknown reason, the report is trying to print from another table! If I suspend after the 'select MyView' command I see that MyView is NOT actually selected, but I can't figure out why.

>>More details:
>>1) It doesn't matter whether or not the fields in the report have an alias.

I've been avoiding using a private DataSession because the user can set a filter and choose an order on what they see in the grid and I'd like to print it as they see it. Using a private DataSession means resetting the filter and order. I tried removing the view from the report's DataEnvironment but it didn't help. I select the view immediately before printing the report, but like I said, it doesn't seem to be selected.
