   Field Name	Type	Value
   Names	Database Field	@name
   Currencies	Database Field	./ExchangeRates/Currency
   2004	Database Field	./ExchangeRates/VsUSD2004
   2003	Database Field	./ExchangeRates/VsUSD2003

   2001	Database Field	./ExchangeRates/VsUSD2001
   2000	Database Field	./ExchangeRates/VsUSD2000

5. Click OK to close the dialog. Your data set and queried fields appear as nodes in the Report Explorer.  

1. From the toolbox, drag a List data region onto the design surface of the report and go to the Properties window to set the DataSetName property to ExchangeRates, Location property to 0in, 0in and Size property to 6.5in, 3in.
2. From the Report Explorer, drag the Names field onto the list, center it at the top and go to the Properties window to set the FontSize property to 14pt and the BorderStyle property to Solid.
3. From the Report Explorer, drag the following fields onto the list with properties set as described in the table below.

   Field Name	Property Name
   Currencies	Location: 1.125in, 0.5in Size: 2.25in, 0.25in
   2004	Location: 4in, 0.875in Size: 1in, 0.25in
   2003	Location: 4in, 1.25in Size: 1in, 0.25in
   2002	Location: 4in, 1.625in Size: 1in, 0.25in
   2001	Location: 4in, 2in Size: 1in, 0.25in
   2000	Location: 4in, 2.375in Size: 1in, 0.25in

   Note: You will notice that the expressions created for these fields are different than usual. Because Visual Basic syntax does not allow an identifier that begins with a number, any numeric field names must be treated as strings in expressions.
4. From the toolbox, drag a TextBox onto the list and go to the Properties window to set the properties as described in the table below to combine static text with a field value.

   Property Name	Property Value
   Location	0.125in, 0.875in

   Value	="Value of " & Fields!Currency.Value & " versus US$ for year:"
   Font	Normal, Arial, 10pt, Bold
   TextAlign	Right

5. From the toolbox, drag TextBox controls onto the list and go to the Properties window to set the properties as described in the table below to create static labels.

A bookmark ID marks any report control as something to which a bookmark link can navigate.

1. On the designer surface, select the Names textbox at the top of the list and at the bottom of the Properties Window, select the Property dialog command.
2. In the Textbox dialog that appears, go to the Navigation page.
3. On the Navigation page, enter Names in the Bookmark ID field.
   
   Note: Every bookmark ID in a report must be a unique string. If you have duplicates, a link to it will navigate only to the first one it finds.
4. Click OK to close the dialog.

A bookmark link is like a hyperlink that navigates to a report control marked with a bookmark ID instead of to a URL. We will add a text box below the list we already created to display at the bottom of the report. This text box will have a bookmark link to the bookmark ID we created in the last procedure.

1. From the toolbox, drag a text box onto the report below the list and in the Properties window, set the properties as follows.

   Property Name	Property Value
   Value	Back to Top
   Location	0in, 3in
   Size	6.5in, .5in
   TextAlign	Center

2. At the bottom of the Properties Window, select the Property dialog command.
3. In the Textbox dialog that appears, go to the Navigation page.
4. On the Navigation page, select the Jump to Bookmark radio button and enter the bookmark ID (Names) created in the procedure above.
5. Click OK to close the dialog.

Open the report in the Viewer. See Windows Forms Viewer for further information.
