Hi Simon,

I am wondering if you could me help out this one:

How to get report column's  api name? From sample xml that the help doc provides(http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_meta), I can see the columns node contains actual field api name:

 <columns>
        <field>CRT_Object__c$Name</field>
    </columns>

But from the zip file I retrieved following your ,net sample code http://www.pocketsoap.com/weblog/category/_net.htm l,, I don't see api name for the column. Here is sample of report meta data I got:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <Report xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
     <columns>
         <field>SALUTATION</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>FIRST_NAME</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>LAST_NAME</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>TITLE</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>ADDRESS2_STREET</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>ADDRESS2_CITY</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>ADDRESS2_STATE</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>ADDRESS2_ZIP</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>ADDRESS2_COUNTRY</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>PHONE1</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>PHONE3</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>PHONE2</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>EMAIL</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>OWNER_FULL_NAME</field>
     </columns>
     <columns>
         <field>ACCOUNT.NAME</field>
     </columns>
     <description>This is just a test!</description>
     <format>Summary</format>
     <groupingsDown>
         <dateGranularity>Day</dateGranularity>
         <field>CONTACT_ID</field>
         <sortOrder>Asc</sortOrder>
     </groupingsDown>
     <name>Test 2009</name>
     <reportType>ContactList</reportType>
     <scope>my</scope>
     <showDetails>true</showDetails>
     <timeFrameFilter>
         <dateColumn>CREATED_DATE</dateColumn>
         <interval>INTERVAL_CUSTOM</interval>
         <startDate>2009-05-10</startDate>
     </timeFrameFilter>
 </Report>

Could you please point me out how to get column's API name? Thanks a lot!
