Understanding Data Variables

image042.jpg

When you place a Data object in a template report, you are actually placing a variable field that references a corresponding field in one of the AP100US databases. For example, if you are creating a part report, then you will be placing variable fields that correspond to the fields in the part database. See Data Control Properties.
