I have created and saved a report called stormwater\_nodes.tdr.

I want to change this report to add another field. Under Project Manager I right-click on the report and go to Edit properties. I add a new field (NODE\_NAME) to the select command.

In Designer mode I add a new label to the report. When I go the Data Binding field in the new label, NODE\_NAME is not listed.

Is there a way to add this field to the report without starting from scratch?

Unfortunately I think you have found a deficiency in the product and I will create a bug report for it. In the meantime, I think you will have to recreate the query to add a column. Sorry!
