It can be very confusing when you use an alert like this to test an assumption. The alert code is quite smart. It knows it can only post a string to the alert dialog, so it bends over backwards to convert whatever you send it into a string.

So, chances are the myReport is not a string (I've not done any actual coding with this part of the object model) but something else which when forced to a string by the alert code comes out as "None".

Put a breakpoint before the alert and use ESTK's data browser to work out what's going on.
