>Prior to running my report I have the tables needed already open and the table that "drives" the report selected and positioned to top. In the data environment object I have autoopentables and autoclosetables set to .f. , and the initialselectedalias property set to the alias of the open file. Yet, the report engine still prompts for an input file. How can I get the report to use the open files.
Clear any tables from the report's dataenvironment. If the report was created through a wizard, the tables were probably added automatically there.

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
