Maybe this is just a problem of communication and I'm not fully understanding the problem.

When you say "Private Data Session", do you mean run the report within the private data session of a form ... or do you mean run the report within it's own private data session?

Where and how do you open the views?

What is in the Data Environment of the report?

>Yes Cathy, I couldn't agree more, it should - but alas, it don't. (Yes I know, bad grammar <g>). I don't think it has anything to do with remote views though, since I experienced the same behaviour with the following:

>>I'm not aware of any problems. You can open the remote view just prior to running the report. Just be sure the report is *NOT* defined with a private data session, otherwise, it won't be able to see the view that was opened prior to running the report.

>>Another option is to open it in the data environment of the report.

>>Either way should work just fine.
