Steve, Base the template report on a dummy table. When you copy it to the new report name, you can change the driving table and add your db objects.

I recall this being handled by a set of macro's way back circa 5x. However, I gotta' believe that, like most everything else we did "the old way", it can be done better in current versions of RBase. Unfortunately, I can't find that thread. Could anyone point me to it (Date, Subject, Etc.) or re-open the discussion? Just thinking conceptually, is it possible to define a "VARIABLE" report containing those standard objects, then copy it along with those elements and assigning a driver-table to it during the copy process?
