  Hello,
  
  You may use dialogue forms in a report:
  http://www.fast-report.com/documentation/U...alogueforms.htm
  If you want to print values from your app dialogue form, you may pass value using the report parameters:
  
  report.SetParameterValue("textBox1Text", textBox1.Text);
  
  and print this value in a report using the Text object:
  [textBox1Text]

  Thanks for you reply.
  
  I have tried to use you example:
  

  Private Sub Button5_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
          'PrintPage.ShowDialog()
          Using report As New FastReport.Report()
              report.Load("Separate Member.frx")
              report.SetParameterValue("NameTextBox.Text", NameTextBox.Text)
              report.Show()
          End Using
      End Sub
  

  
  And this is what I have created in the design report:
  
  
  But when I run the application and click the button, the report is completely empty.
  
  I don't get why?
  
  Thanks

  I figured out why the report was empty, I placed the textbox in the data band, when I placed it into new band (report summary) it was shown.
  
  The only thing I still saw, was that the dialog field contained the text as when I placed it when designed, while it should display the text of the textbox from my windows form.
  
  How to do this?

  Remove '.' symbol from the parameter name and it will work.

  Thanks for your reply, I stopped using the dialogue (because it wasn't needed) and still it works, by using the setparametervalue.
  
  Thanks again for your help.
