TOPIC:

I have made a report using the frReport1 component.  The only way I know how to make and modify a report is to double click on the frReport1 component icon after placing it on my form and altering it before compiling the program.  Can anyone tell me if and how one can bring up the editing form programmatically using a button?  Thanks

Use report.DesignReport.
If you go to your CodeTyphon CodeOcean folder there are all kind of examples on how you can use Report (in Windows it is folder 'C:\codetyphon\CodeOcean\lz_Report\samples'), study them and you'll learn the in's and out's of Report.
Success!
