Great! Does it allow any form of scripting

New feature you can add text to a bound text like in the sample Order Details: [OrderId].

I also see parameters on the field list.  I don't remember seen that before.

"P.S:  Who can spot another big new feature?"

I can think of something that would be very² useful but not really a BIG new feature though: to make our life easier and the job done faster when we create table based reports (versus label based), it would be convenient to have a dialog asking the number of rows, columns, the table width, the row height and border properties we want when we drop a table control on the report. A bit like what dreamweaver does when you insert a table ... right now if you want a 12 rows by  8 columns table you need to spend a lot time inserting new rows and columns, for example.

This has already been suggested twice (at least), see suggestions A631 and S90584.  The first one mentions that it has been accepted but the release date had to be discussed ... and that was back in 2005  :p

Anyway, this feature would be handy and very welcome.

Thanks for reading this.

P.S.: the Calculated Fields feature rocks !

Jeopardy:  What is an "Expression Builder?"

Finally! Thank you for that.

Can we add user defined function in the function list ? that is great feature i think..

Great! It would also be nice if you can access user defined functions (from within the report) where more complex computations/logic can be performed.
