Is there a way to make and save changes (modifications) to a memorized report
without having to memorize it as an entirely new memorized report?

When you go to save the modified report one of your options will be to
replace the existing memorized report. Just watch the prompts carefully.

Hmmm. I'm not getting that option.

Here's what's happening...

I open my memorized report, and make a modification (right now, specifically,
unchecking the display of a column that pops the report onto two pages width.) I
try to close the repost, and a message pops up: "You have modified the settings
for this report. Adding this report to the memorized report list will save
these settings for future use. Would you like to memorize this report?"

I click Yes and another box opens up, the Memorize Report box. The report's
name is already filled in. I am leaving "Save in memorized report group?"
unchecked because I am not currently using report groups.

I click OK and a warning pops up: "There is already a memorized report with this
name. You must specify a unique memorized report name."

At this point I have a half dozen memorizations of the same report, each with a
unique name and each with some minor modification. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

What happens if you hit the Memorize button instead of closing the report?
