To insert a field

1.

Expand the Database Fields node in the Field Explorer dialog box and
expand a table.

for that field as well as the field type and size by right-clicking the field
and selecting Browse Data from the shortcut menu.

Click the Customer Name field and drag it into the Details section of the

the report:

The object frame represents the object you have just selected for

field selected.
