That all works well but now I am trying to design a report using XtraReports from DevExpress and I want to use that custom field in the report. I don't know how to get the custom field on the report or how to make it show up on the report? I know this is not the DevExpress site but when I ask questions on their site they don't seem to understand BO's or I don't know how to ask the question there. TIA.

I added a calculated field to my report and set the following properties: Datasource = myDataSet, DataMember=myTableinDataSet and the Expression=[CustomFieldName]. Dropped it on the report. Then in my code to run the report I do the following: Dim ds As New DataSet ds.Tables.Add(Me.StockTempsBO1.CurrentDataTable) Dim ddate As Date ddate = Me.CalcDate.CurrentDate.ToLongDateString Dim report As New StockthatFellThruReport report.XrLabelheading.Text = crodeoname report.XrLabelheading1.Text = "Stock That Fell Thru from Draw" report.XrLabelheading2.Text = cwhatevt report.XrLabelheading3.Text = ddate.ToString("D") report.DataSource = ds report.DataMember = Me.StockTempsBO1.TableName report.ShowPreview() I am not sure it is sound code but it works great and does exactly what I want it too. Comments Welcome.
