Struggling along with this - I've tried to persevere with ReportDesigner (because its good!) and have got all my detail lines and formatting working OK, primarily by re-editing the rfxml file expressions (to set the upper & lower case correctly) after each session with ReportDesigner. I am now trying to put in group totals, but keep getting 'caseless dictionary...' and similar messages printed instead of my variables I have set up for the totals. I guess if all my field names were lowercase I could probably get by, but as the reports are the last part of my application I am putting together it is a little late for that now! All of this was working fine back in early December.
