This is really a two part question so here goes.
1 - I have three reports that I created using revelation reporter. They are right where I saved them in the proper folder. The problem is, I can't find them anywhere in the repository. How do I get them back into the repository so that I can use them for question #2?
2 - I want to run a revelation reporter report from a click event in a button control in a form. Using two buttons, I want to produce the report to the screen with one button and to the printer with the other button. I assume this has to be done with a script, but how is it done?
Thanks for your help.

Answer to the second question:
In order to print to screen try Splaver's Software OIPI. You can download a demo version from their site… do a search for that in Dogpile of whatever - it was easy to find.

Are they saved as OS files (.rpt)?

Search this discussion database for REVRPT or see the REVRPT knowledge base article. Also you can use REPOSITORY("EXECUTE"....

Yes, they're saved as *.rpt.

Richard,
If you want you can use the Utility function and the Runwin parameter. This will allow you to launch the files that are saved to Dos. This is documented in the reporter.hlp file chapter 2 "launching a report from the command line". If you do not want to use this you could open your reports and resave them to the repository. Then you can use the Repository function.
