Using Linked Object fields in Reports.

doesnt bring up name of linked object. just a bunch of gibberish.

Hi danielp - not sure what may cause this behavior. Maybe using the wrong field or something like that. The best way for us to check this is if you could send us your customized report template, and we will try to learn more from it.
Please go to the Report Designer Window, File > Save as File, and send us the output RTM file. We will then check this further.
