Luc,
Much of the intermediate processing that RBase does occurs in temporary
files, thence the importance of the TMP or TEMP directory location (should
be on the client machine).
Objects and or expressions that rely on variables in reports or forms, as a
matter of practice, should have the variables predefined in advance of their
use.
Further, as RBase has progressed, the unbridled forgiveness of older
versions of RBase is being replaced with rigid rules/requiremens as the
environment grows more complex.
The fact that you only experience it on the one machine lends credence to
the TMP or TEMP (scratch settings) being configured improperly or the
absence of the default printer installation (which is a requirement for
RBase to run properly).

Hi Razzak,
what I don't understand :
the database is located on a fileserver. each workstation has Rbase
installed and opens the database on the server.
So why does it work on 4 PC's and not on that specific one ?

Haven't found a remedy for this yet.
Luc,
Check to make sure that R:BASE SCRATCH settings are set
to TMP.
SHOW SCRATCH at the R> prompt should reveal the SCRATCH
settings for currently running R:BASE session.
Additionally, make sure that there is a default PRINTER
installed and selected for your work station.
Last but not least, if your report involves the use of
global variable(s), they all must be pre-defined with
correct data types. This situation can be handled by
pre-defining all global variables as "On Before Design"
and "Before Generate" Report Actions.
Report Designer | Main Menu | Report | Actions ...
Hope that provides you with some blue's clues ...
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
