Hi Sami - Thanks for the idea.
"POW is a C function. Since the current rendition of RBase is written in C, it is a good chance that that is the problem. I think the EXP funtion would probably be a candidate, as well as the ^ operator as in 3 ^ 3 = 27" - from Dennis McGrath Turned out it was a command a bit before the report which involved an exponential operator and the user thought the report had a problem. Never did figure out what was causing the error but it turned out to be irrelevant to the report. Lesson: Don't trust the client's analysis.
