The code in the report would have to be overridden to get it, but I don't have a simple example handy, no. It takes work ... either using an associative array (if you need to pass multiple items) or some other value, in a form's pushbutton event handler you might do (completely untested): function MyButton_onClick() set procedure to myReport.rep r = new myReportReport() r.MyRowset = form.rowset // make the report not MDI so the preview window doesn't // allow focus to switch (at least in theory): r.mdi := false // whatever else r.render() return In the report's overridden render() method: // overriding it, the report designer calls it "form_render()" here, // an oddity, but nothing to worry about: function form_render() if type( "this.MyRowset " ) # "U" // it's not undefined this.streamsource1.rowset = this.MyRowset endif return MyReportREPORT::render() In theory this should work. However, you cannot close the form if it releases the query the rowset is associated with ... you could also use the preview form in the dUFLP, but you'd still have to deal with the overridden render and all that ...
