Actually there is a NAME clause of the REPORT FORM command that does exactly what you want <g>. It provides a reference to the DE. If you don't use the NAME clause, the reference is the same as the filename of the report (minus the extension of course).

This is pretty much like a form object reference, except it's the DE not the report that's referenced, of course.

BTW... it is always created, even if you don't use the DE.

Also BTW... you can access the name in a report listener using a CommandClauses member (DE_NAME).
