Here in lays the problem...  We "Can't" write something for this that I
can think of.
This is a rreport/ddreport (?report from here on out) / selection set
issue.

If a user creates a selection set, and doesn't save it..  ?report still
knows what that
Selection set is until it's done running.

So .. The table is their in memory, we just have no way of accessing it.

That is what my problem is..   I have people creating selections sets /
not saving them,
Yet complaining to me, that they aren't getting the data they want
because they don't
Use the 'correct' selection set.
