Since I can't use the ReportDesigner without a TestCursor does that mean I should try hand coding the rfxml file and test it with my 'live' database (I have no problem with this concept - its just that its not the way I assumed report design should be done). Please correct me if I am wrong, but my impression is that the ReportDesigner only knows what fields are available from the test cursor as no link to a Bizobj is available from the ReportDesigner. Am I right?
