Ed, Thanks for your suggestion.
That will work correctly, however my users want to be able to report on just a subset of the data returned by the query. The ability to select "n" records to report on is necessary to them. Prior to ugrading to 6.3, this worked without error. I can only assume that the problem is caused by 1) a bug introduced in 6.3 or 2) a configuration setting somewhere which I am unaware of.
