"1/1/3999 BCE, the earliest possible R:Base date." I love it!

Seriously, when I kept getting this problem with the report,
I finally created a view and drove the report from that. It
brought the information out the way I wanted it

That report caused me a few more headaches in getting it to print
to a file so I could incorporate the report data into a WordPerfect 
document. Three times out of four I got dumped completely out of
R:Base and had to restart everything.

But I finally got the job done; maybe not too elegantly but it's
finished. Thanks, Bill, for your reply.
