You don't have to declare the variables as public to do that. The variables in your form code are in the scope of your report. For instance, the following will work perfectly:

local prtFromDate, prtToDate, prtSomeVar
with ThisForm
   prtFromDate = .FromDate.Value
   prtToDate = .ToDate.Value
   prtSomeVar = .someField.Value
endwith
report form Myreport noconsole preview

In this example, you can place wherever you want in your report the vars prtFromDate, prtToDate and prtSomeVar.

Hello All
