    Hello,

    to move elements from one band to another, you can select them by mouse or
    you can hold the shift cap down and click each element. After you have made
    your selection you can drag them to another band.

    To change a label from label type to dbText type the only idea i have, is to
    parse the report in delphi and change the label object, but this seems only
    to be a profitable way if you have a lot forms with a lot of labels to
    change.

    There is LOTS of labels on a couple forms i am changing, also, draging,
    those lots of labels with the mouse is not easy...
    i was hopping another easy way.

    save the report to an ASCII file and open it up in your favorite editor,
    search/replace.
