Yes - but within the report designer you can't link to a 'real' database. So if you want to get into the design/preview cycle to see what you have you need a test cursor. Similarly you can't get field names in the Report Designer from a 'real' database - only from a test cursor. Unless I have been working under a real misunderstanding so far! My live database is SQLite, but as far as I know you can't link to a Bizobj from the Report Designer directly.
