New to designing reports, can't find a way to dynamically bind my report
text box to a data field from my data environment:

Dataenvironment1 - connecting to a mysql database, connections are good
DataReport1

I can get the data to show if I simply bind the text boxes using the
properties page, however I need to do it dynamically because I've got some
