Ben, Thank you for the reply. I too remember the page break problem and it was fixed at one time as I confirmed with other reports some months ago. However I am afraid it may have somehow been re-introduced. I am using the latest rev of ver 7. I will need to check my previous report from some months ago when the page break problem was first noticed. It may be that they are not working properly now as well.
I am attending the class in Indianapolis tomorrow, so I have hope in getting some expert assistance! -Bob Thompson Technology Consultants 276 Chippewa LaPorte, IN 46350 219-324-2605 (Phone & Fax) 219-363-7441 (Cell) http://ttc.inc.home.comcast.net -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 9:50 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Report problem Bob, There was a bug in early versions where if the total fell at the page break (I think... it has something to do w/ the page break <g>) the sum would be incorrect. I haven't tested 6.5 to see if it still holds true.
