Hello and thank you for reading my request.

I'm a newbie in the sense that this db does not get used regularly. I also was not trained in anyway. I inherited the software when I took the job.

I am trying to create a directory including a field - that looks like it is not a field. I created a "function" to put district lists. but when i try and include this in custom report it is not there for it. it is created in the notes area.

where do I create fields to include in flagging?

eternally yours!

Jacquie,

I take it you're creating a custom report. How are you doing this ??

If you're using the report writer software, you should be able to see the data item you want to include in the report. Before you try to format anything, you should make sure that the data you want to pull, will be pulled.

What I would do is first create a report using all the selection criteria you want to use, along with any fields you want eventually included. Then just run the report to see if the data can be seen in a columnar report.

If you see the data, then I'd start to create the proper format you want to use.

Hope this helps.
