At least that is al I have noticed.
BUT - it now seems the problem might be when I save the report underM4/srb 1.0.2 and the go back and try to run it again under 2.3.1/SRB1.0.1 or 1.0.2. The conditional formatting and page numerbing just stopworking. All the forumlas are there in edit mode, but they just don'tshow up when you run it. When I put SRB 1.0.1 back in 2.3.1 and savedit again the formatting stopped working in both 2.3.1 and M4?? Anyway, at this point It is just one file and one report I've beenplaying with and not paying a great deal of attention to exact mixes -fortunately I have a copy of the file as it was before I started allthis. ( I booted into Linux ( where I have not done any updates to thepackages ) and ran the report from the backup copy of the db there with2.3.1 - all the original formatting is correct ) I'll go ahead and start over from step zero under Windows later tonightand see if I can reporduce the same problem - if not, chaulk it up tothe weather - if so I'll write it up in an issue.
