>Thanks for your help again. And thank you Nadya for your confirmation. I had thought of yours and Nadya's way of doing things; I was just hoping that there was something I didn't know about the report designer.

Winn,

Actually there is a way no one has mentioned. The report form is a table and you can USE MyReport.FRX and perform table operations on it. If you had 100 controls on the line you might want to do it this way. For details of the FRX table, there are two "reports" in the VFP FileSpec directory. Mine are in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 7\Tools\Filespec\60frx1.frx, and 60frx2.frx.
