Dan -
It looks like the view you have created is using some grouping levels.
Make sure you are not ALSO referencing the same grouping levels as
breakpoints in the report.
Second thing to check - the alias names you used in the view - make sure
they are not the same as other columns in the database, but that they are
unique.
If all else fails, post the view definition here and maybe we can figure out
something else.
