Location: Pembroke Pines, FL (USA)              Hey All,

So I'm trying to figure out how to get the report feature working for me using 
data that is not from a database.  I've looked at the RB Reporting Example 
(over and over) and have done my best to create and print a report on my own.  
However, when I get to the line
Code:If rpt.run(ds, ps) then
  ...
end if

I get a NilObjectException error.  When I run the debugger to see what object 
is Nil I can't figure it out.  None of my objects are showing Nil (they all 
have a value).  I think my problem lies in the Reports.DataSet object I've 
created.  I don't think that my data is rendering properly inside the 
Field(String) As Variant function.  

Now I realize that to get an answer to what is causing my problem I'll need to 
post my code.  However, before I do that I was wondering if there was anywhere 
else I could look at an example of a report created with the new RB Report 
feature that uses data NOT from a database.  Short of that, I'd love a brief 
explanation of how the Reports.DataSet object is supposed to be set up so that 
the data is rendered properly.

As always any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated .  Thanks!

Tom

Try looking at the Gas Report which is an example of data NOT coming from a 
database
It's probably a better place to start
