Hi Ralph & Tim, I do use rv+1 type formulas in a number of reports quite a bit but thought I'd check if I was overlooking something. The item number was sitting there to be copied but then realised I needed to control the printing of it and wondered if recycling and controlling it was possible - thank you both for the response.
Using 26x but copied following from Lew's old release notes with 2.6f "2. You should be able to store 250 reports, increased from 150." I have a vague memory of Lew saying that number of reports had increased at the conference but can't be sure - does anyone know how many reports are currently allowed and more to the point for me - does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of report variables within a report or do I not need to be concerned about that.
