Gunnar, Thanks for your reply. I deleted some variables that were somewhat complicated (with IF statements in them) and then I was told that you couldn't add text to real (or similar), so you were right - there was an incorrect type in there that I couldn't see - although I had looked many times. (I am not sure why the error message didn't appear earlier - however at least it is going now.)
Thank you.

Gunnar Ekblad -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] För John Docherty Skickat: den 19 oktober 2009 03:09 Till: RBASE-L Mailing List Ämne: [RBASE-L] - Unable to create report variable error (2196) I am getting this error message when opening a report in Reports Designer (the message appears before Designer is displayed), with the error message being preceded by the variable name. If I do a print preview the message appears without the variable name for each row. I cannot see any reason for the message appearing I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions as where to start with this. (A similar report works on another view but with less rows.) I had also been getting invalid use of the like operator with escape messages, but I found that changing the no of rows in a preview setting had an effect on that - and I don't have any like operators in the report. Could this be a memory issue ? (apart from mine that is). Any suggestions as to what to try would be most welcome. (This is in V8.) Thank you. Regards, John Docherty
