>>Sure, no problem. The only thing is that when you're designing the report, you won't be able to choose the cursor's fields as you can for a permanent table: you need to type them in manually. However, if you run the SELECT before editing the report, it will pick up the field sizes correctly.

Preston, with a little planning you can pick up data fields, even captions, from a SQL-Select.

1. Run the SELECT to a cursor
2. Open a new report
3. Pick 'Quick Report'
4. Select your choices of layout, titles, alias, etc.
5. Now modify the report by dragging the pre-set fields whereever you want.

If you design your SQL so each field name is the same as the caption you want, half your work is done. You can also set the default font to your preferred font before starting 'Quick Report' which saves re-setting fonts & positions for every field.
