Hi Paige,

I'm not getting the exact results you are .. but I'm using VFP 8 so that could be a factor. I don't have any trouble canceling, but I found the only way to get the tables listed is to open the tables in the command window. Just having them listed in the data environment doesn't seem to do it .. which I would THINK it would. It sure sounds like you've stumbled on a bug and I suggest that you report it to Microsoft.

>I believe I've found a "sort of bug". If I use the Report Wizard/Report Wizard (not one-to-many), I get, as a default, a database and list of tables therein. Here is the key: the first table in the list is already "selected" (highlighted) and the fields in that table are already listed in the "Available Fields" list. If I begin selecting the fields from that list and continue through the process of generating the report, even "preview" it, "Save Report and Modify it in Report Designer". But then if I want select from the top line menu "Run Report"; and then modify if it in the "Print Options" for instance: "Report and Label Print Options": Clicking on the elipsis (...) for the "For:" field, nothing show up in the available table or fields. And when I cancel all operations, it hangs.
