This should be simple, but I cannot figure it out. I have created a report
in visual dBase 7.5 which uses datafile1 as input. I would like to copy the
report to another directory and run it using datafile2. All I want to do is
use a new data file. Can't make it work.

Shouldn't be too hard...if your report calculates values displayed in, lets
say, entryfield1, entryfield2, entryfield3, etc.. open datafile2, append
blank and replace feild1 with form.entryfield1.value, replace field2 with
form.entryfield2.value, etc. At that point, your report procedure would
have to loop back and repeat useing the new datafile parameters. Without
more details, hard to be more specific
