	The available fields are defined by the command statements. If it is not lised under either of the commands then it is either excluded in the command itself or it was renamed. Go into Database Expert under Data tab Command1 and Command2 should be listed Right click on eitehr and select View Command from here you can see what your sources are and what the origianl fields from the sources are. You can also edit the command to include another field from said tables. Does this help/answer your question?

	From Start Page click Report wizard, connect to DB. Then you should be able to see all the tables. Choose tables with fields that you need. Remember to link your tables correctly! and so on follow the wizard I hope this will help you to START Regards RDSEAL

	Thanks. Here is what I see when I edit: EXEC spRQRPTPurchaseOrder '{?@xstrTranType}', '{?@xstrPONumber}', {?@xnReviewSession},@xstridfSecurityIDCurrent = '{?@xstridfSecurityIDCurrent}', @xnidfData = 1 Looks to me like a store procedure. Do i need to modify the sp to view the field i want to see.

	I would guess yes but that is a guess as I can't see your set up. I don't use SPs much so lockwelle or hilfy might jump in here... Bottom line is Crystal only has access to the data that is defined by your source (the command which is calling a SP). You may be able to alter the SP or add in another command to get the missing data but that will need to be joined to the other commands. The fix in this case all depends on what the SP being used is doing and if the database design will let you include the "missing field" into that SP. Does this make sense? Also a word of caution... changing a SP or view at your source that may be used elsewhere can have adverse effects across your entire system. Make sure you know that changing this does noty alter the data set or cause oterh issues if that SP is used for multiple things. Edited by DBlank - 11 Sep 2009 at 9:00am
