I think it is because it is Apples and Oranges. The forms are based on
Delphi Forms and the Reports are of a different source (of which source I am
uncertain).

Duh, you're right Mike. I forgot we were talking about reports (hint for
next time: look at the email subject). Since both forms and reports are
stored in the .rb4 file, I wonder why reports are different? I'm assuming
reports are stored "compressed" like the option we have in forms? Boy, I
would sure love to have the same option for reports
Karen
Except it won't work on Reports...
