Thnaks for helping me...
I was able to save it as you mentioned by the shortcut method. But now I cannot excute that file. Meaning I cannot see how it looks in a Report form.
If I use Sql>_at_report .... It says invalid command At sql>???? (What should I type to see my REPORT(File Name) have saved as you mentioned in the shortcut method.
