But has it draws backs when it comes to eXtreme 9.0 as I recall. Which after using I would say reminds me of an old song by Garth Brooks - Unanswered Prayers <g> . Just my .03

Unless you are doing something strange or are using variable forms the change should be transparent. That way you can continue to develop the windows version and revert to DOS for situations such as you just described. V7.6 for DOS and v7.6 for WINDOWS can coexist in the same v7.6 database.

It sounds crazy. The report works great in 4.5 bit in 7.6 the data arrives incomplete, some data omitted and some data out of order. I think I will have to revert back to 4.5. Keeping two data bases up todate is a little cumbersome. Thanks for your suggestion.

I just recently up graded from Rbase 4.5 to Rbase 7.6. Big Leap. I was happy with 4.5 but Bill Gates doesn't like dos so I was glad that I could update to 7.6, however. I used to be able to print a report to a file and open it up in Word and edit it. With Rbase 7.6 it is a nightmare. I just don't think it should be so complicated. Is there anyone that does this. Why does the report store in a pdf file. This seems to be the default. If I have it print as an rtf file it is difficult yo edit and a text file is editable but very time consuming.
