did all the above and still get same error. I have just created a grid with an export to excel button for now that does what I need, I also linked the fields in contacts I needed into activity so I could display them, but would still like to understand how to create these reports when using linked tables as I will be utilizing them ...

Dave, thank you for your response. I am creating my Estimate records very much like that. The problem is, when you view the Estimate record in the MethodCRM UI, the only Estimate field that is filled in is the Customer field itself - "Amy Smith" in your example.
