Hi Gert,

The only way to edit a report is pretty counter-intuitive and somewhat
cumbersome ...
Open the report for editing, open the form navigator (from the "Form
Design" toolbar), from the the Form Navigator, and play with the hidden
fields therein. They contain all descriptions for the report, including
for instance the statement it is based on (which implies your fields and
the field order). Ugly, yes.

Not sure what you mean with this.

Ciao
