Hi Jill,

Michael means exactly what he says - use a separate login - ie username.

The custom reports are stored per-user, in some different file than your data 
files.  This means that the only way to have different custom reports in the 
custom reports list is to have different user profiles. Thus it follows that 
not all reports in the list will make useful output, if run against the 
"wrong" datafile.

An alternative to the 2-login approach is to be cunning with your naming - if 
you need a similar name, then call it personal-myReport, for example. All the 
reports will be visible for both datafiles, but it should be fairly clear 
which one you need to run!

HTH,
Maf.
