Mervyn,

Thanks for the forms.
I know this is basic but as said long time no dbase.

I'm getting "database alias expected" line 15.
I've orders.dbf in database alias dbaseSamples and tried with the
report in an other directory & also same directory.

As an aside on rummaging through Ken's dbase report book, I noticed
after examples of  coding in report render using assoc array he gives an
example similar to your suggestion, but states you need dBase 2.5.
Could this be a requirement as well as latest preview (which is not
mentioned).
