Hi. The .cat file is your Impromptu Catalog - essentially the metadata which describes the data source and the reporting objects available when authoring reports. Each .imr is a separate Impromptu Report, which is linked to the catalog.

You can open the catalog in Impromptu and browse the tables and the folders to see how it is defined. You can then open each report to see what it does.

Cheers!

MF.
