Hi Arnott,

If you're using CR.NET 2003, then you can't report directly from arrays. However, in my book I show you how to create a DataTable and print from that. You could use that code to copy the array to a DataTable for printing.

If you're using CR.NET 2005, then you can print from an array. I'm actually writing that chapter right now and don't have the sample code yet. But I should have it soon and will finish that chapter and have it online.
