I believe that the ETXT and TXT options are switched around. ETXT should give the report emulation that you are looking for. TXT should give the comma/tab delimited or fixed length file. But TXT gives the report emulation - and misses records, while ETXT works fine to produce the text file as specified in the "Print to Text File Setup..." dialog of the File menu in the Report Designer. You got the error message because you tried the ETXT option, RBase thought it was TXT and you didn't have the setup filled in.
