Thank you, Dorian. No, I didn't know that. I've been slinging Microsoft
code for nearly 20 years, but still relatively new to the Adwords API with
.Net. So I have to create an ad-hoc report with C# and then I can call it
by it's id? Might you know of some C# examples where I can see where you do
this?
Thanks in advance for your kind response.
