Hi, The table component just does not seem to work or is it too complicated to use. I follow all the steps i.e I chose the option of creating table from a dataset, I select the fields shown by the dataset, for the connection I use the option Use the same connection used to fill the master report and I chose the style presented. When I preview the screen keeps on returning to the design tab and does nothing ..i.e no data is displayed. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks Ashok
