It's been so long since I wrote about and used the DED that I'm afraid I
can't be of much help. I transitioned to VS.NET not long after writing that
book and I'm working on the 2005 version now--so it's been over five years
since I knew how to help you. Sorry.
I do know that the DED is fragile, does not like to be reexecuted with new
parameters without rebinding. Actually, for reporting, I just finished a
book on Reporting Services which should be on the shelves in September (or
so they say). It's a lot easier to use than Crystal or the VB6 reporting
tools.

Try posting to microsoft.public.data.ado--there are a lot of bright people
there that might remember what to do.
