<< A View is a nice feature, but also (in some way) quite dangerous. >>
I'm not sure why a view would be dangerous. In this case, my report is driven by a view, so can't get away entirely from using one. I could project the views out to temporary tables (which I will try tomorrow) and then base the report on the temporary, but I'd be surprised if that solves my problem (if the problem originates in the temporary data sets need for subreports, those data sets are still needed whether I'm excerpting from a view or a table). I'll report back tomorrow. -- Larry
