Jim, you've probably already checked on this and I think someone mentioned it, but, is the variable associated with the appropriate Header/Footer (Hn/Fn)? I know I've stymied myself more than once when I've made changes to a report and failed to check in which section a break variable was being evaluated.

Do you have access to the sample RRBYW16?

As printed that value is actually a TEXT value as later on in the printout I have items with a suffix attached to a number. There is no way using primary to determine a break. You have to use a counter hence the vCount variable and the vBreak variable. the vbreak variable will contain either a 0 or 1 with the 1 indicating a break.

Is that vCount? Locate vBreak on there too to see if it gives you any idea. Also make sure you are not printing the report with an "order by" clause or else that will totally trump your vBreak break column. Perhaps older versions were more forgiving of that. Karen You will notice it prints six names, skips a line, one name, skips a line, six names skips a line, one name, skips a line etc.
