Data into and out of .cfr file...possible?

I have a CF app which needs to process totals for property and items like that, then I need to send that to .cfr file

So how does regular CF communicate in an interactive mode with the report builder?

    Yes, it is possible to pass values to the report from ColdFusion.

    See the section Using input parameters to pass variables and other data at run time in the Report Builder help.

    Cheers

    Thanks Eddie, "I strongly recommend creating a view in your database engine and then building your query in the Query Builder against that view."

    I don't understand "create a view" in my DB file and build a query in that view via the builder?

    Kevin, your Query Builder question is in another thread. I will answer your follow-up question there rather than go off topic in this thread.

    Cheers
