Yes, the problem does have to do with long column names. Older versions of R:Base reserved 18 spaces in the report definition for each column placed on the report. However, when you use a view, the name stored is actually TableAlias.ColumnName, which can easily go over the limit. The symptoms of this problem: 1) spurious messages about something outside the margins and 2) the offending columns would dissappear when you opened the report for editing. As a work around, you can create shorter alias names in the view definition so no combination of table and column alias (plus the period to separate them) exceeds 18 characters. I believe this problem is fixed in more recent versions of the program. -- Larry ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: http://www.mail-archive.com/rbase-l%40sonetmail.com/
