Thank you for your response. It will take me a while to digest all suggestions.

What I am trying to do is create a generalized form class through which the user enters the filter and sort choices and then runs a report.

I want to make it table driven. The table will contain the report name and description; a setup procedure in a memo field (to be run from the form load or init) in which the characteristics of the form elements (labels, textboxes, comboboxes) are set; a generate procedure in a memo field (to be run from a commandbutton click method). The report itself will either be named in a field or generated on the fly from the current cursor using field names as titles. The last part is the reason for the request in this thread.
