I have a database table that contains the names of other, dynamically
created, database tables. I can retrieve that data and from it compose a
query. I tried to use the composed query in a subreport table, but cannot
see how to pass it to the beforeopen of the dataset. The subreport example
shows how to pass a parameter of a where clause, but I need to pass the
whole query. How can that be done?

Does the query change, change the column definitions? Ie are you just
changing the table name and not the column names and column types in the
sub report?

I retrieve one column, converting it to a string in the query and renaming
it to one name using sql 'as'

Colin,

Look at the attached example and give it a try. It may cache the
dataset defeating your purpose but it may be worth a try. Look at the
outer table oncreate on the detail row and the beforeOpen script on the
inner data set.
