Ok...I got AL guide working and it is opening up reports for each record
I select in the table. That however is not exactly what I was looking
for. I would like all of the records I select to open in the same
report not different reports. Can you append values to a character
field during a set fields action?
Thanks

Kyle,
The only way to know what row the user has selected, or changed, or
.... would be via walking the table. Either the "old way" or as part
of an Active Link guide. (Depending on what your after.) I suspect
that you would want to get the list of "Entry ID's" (field 1 values)
from a hidden column in the table for the rows of interest and then
pass that list to the Window Open action in the 'Entry IDs' value ( or
"parameter" to the action. What should we call those "sub parts" of an
action that takes field references? :) in the Open Window action.
However, if the list was to long, (and I have no idea what that length
would be, but I am sure it exists) then you might even do a Join
between a "junk form" and your form of interest. Have the Active Link
Guide do a Push for each Entry ID and then do the report from the join
with a GUID value you use to "mark" the set of records in the Join
with.
And I think it could be even more complicated than that too. But I
hope that gets you a good start on your efforts.
