simple syntax question

[SpaceMarine]

hello,

in the following code:

Dim report As Report = CreateReport()

report!OFFICER_ 1 = Global.Officer1
report!OFFICER_ 2 = Global.Officer2
report!UNIT_NUM BER = Global.Officer1 .UnitNumber

....can someone please explain what the "!" syntax is in the last three
lines? those arent properties of the Report object itself, so i am
confused.


thanks!
