New Report Has Old Report Variables In The List Of Variables

[drosenkranz]

I used an old project to start a new project from. When I got to the reprots, I del;eted the old ones nad started over with new reports. When I went to "Variables" on the menu- it's empty like it should be.

When I create a new variable and go to the "Value To Store", the "Expression Builder" opens up and I see about 40 variables in this window that I created in the old project's report for rolling up totals. How do I get rid of all of the old variables from the last project in my Expression Builder's variable window?

Hi!

Hmm, looks quite weird.

Did you ran old reports before?
Did you used something like memory view store/restore?
Are you sure these variables are not a VFP default system variables? (what are their names?)

No View Mememory or Restores used. Variables were my names for rolling up totals like ro1, ro1tot, ro2, ro2tot, ro3... used in the original project.

They're just hanging around I guess.

What you meant 'hanging around'? I beleive if you created new report, it can use anly variables that are in memory, or fields that are in teh table. Than, after restarting VFP and opening/creating new report, where they can appear from? I just listed a cases where they can apper from. Nothing more nothing less. I cannot beleive that samo variables appear by mysterious way just because you created new report. Look around.
