Ed,
The reason I wrapped the execute with dDataSet was that I ran into a problem
issuing further execute statements on the result.
I'll have to track it down but if I recall this was the sitation...
myqueryresult = reportDS.execute('select * from dataset')
myqueryresult.execute('select * from dataset where whatever')
Would throw an exception saying myqueryresult was a list and had no execute
attribute or something like that.
Thanks for the input.
Larry
