Hi Colin

Thanks for your interest. As I replied to Jim of MS, it is a real complicated report with many many shapes, fields, bitmaps and even OLE(word) objects so repor will be difficult.

Anyway just now I found that they all open AND run without a problem so I just don't know what it was that caused this crash.

I will have to do some extensive testing in my runtime enviro which is win2003k Terminal Services before I decide to take the step and update the files to use VFP9.

I hope this never happens again.
Regards

Bernard
