Hi Chuck.
This has been a frustrating thing for me as well. Before data environment was added to report forms, the expression builder used the current data session to show the available tables and fields which worked well for me. I have found no way to get it to do this in VFP6 SP5 other than including a data environment. That does not work for me since all reports are from generated cursors or temp tables and the same report may be used for different named tables or cursors. I will follow this thread for useful suggestions. I really don't want to hack the FRX each time that the a report is run. Maybe there is an setting in the current versions that I am unaware of or perhaps this should be added to the wish list for next version.


>Let me first start out by saying we don't use the data environment in the report designer. In our application we let the user modify the report inside the applicaton with a modify button that issues a modify report statement. Now since we don't use the data environment we don't get the list of fields in the Expression's Expression Builder. Is there a way to change that so we can get the list of fields with out putting the tables in the report's data environment?
