    Hi Felix,

    I'm a bit unclear about what you would like to accomplish. Inside the
    designer, the field names are displayed in the Data Tree (available by
    selecting it from the Report | Toolbars menu option). The field names are
    also displayed in DADE when creating new queries? Perhaps a little more
    information on what you would like your report to display.

    Hi Felix,

    Unfortunately your approach is not easily achieved with ReportBuilder.

    The solution to this problem is to use DADE. DADE (available for RB
    Professional or higher) allows you to keep the entire data definition for
    the report (i.e. query, datasource, datapipeline) local to the template so
    there would be no need to create a new query based on the fields used in the
    report. Basically when the template is loaded, all the data access
    component are automatically created for you based on the report definition.
    For more information on DADE, please see our web site
    (http://www.digital-metaphors.com) and the ReportBuilder Developer's Guide
    located in the \RBuilder\Developer's Guide\ directory
