You haven't caused any problem. I was able to duplicate the process including the error message. The export specs embedded in the scripts which exports a file for labels includes a sort for record number, and summarizes the export by record number. The summary requires that the records be sorted by record number Sidebar; I don't have a clue why the summary should be part of the specification. The effect is to export only one record per record number, and ebase goes to great lengths to insure that you have only one record per record number in the file. Maybe one of the designers could jump in here? You apparently sorted by another field (zip?) before using the export script, and it was just warning you that the summary wouldn't work, which is of no consequence. >I am working on exporting a file for our newsletter mailing labels.
