Hi I have a report with 3 (different) data items. Is there any easy way to save the information concerning filtersettings on the 3 data items - and use these saved filtersettings to run the report? I have also some settings on the ‘option’ page of the request-form, and they should be saved also. What I’m looking for is some kind of a ‘save-current-view’ function on a report (and a ‘use-current-view’). Hope this makes sense to somebody[:D]

Yes, it makes great sense, and would be a wonderful feature, but unfortunately it does not exist. Your only solution is to code it in. Ideally create a table to store paramaters and read them at run time. You could use an external program to send the paramaters as key strokes. And I think that ExpandIT had a solution that did this. Probably a search for them on this site will turn up something. (I think this is the one, but am not sure [http://www.expandit.com/products/launch\_utility/downloads/default.htm](http://www.expandit.com/products/launch_utility/downloads/default.htm))
