Burt,

You understand incorrectly. The reports created in VFP9 are backward compatible as long as no VFP9 specific features, like multiple detail bands, used in them.

>As I understand it, if you create a report in VFP 9, it will be a VFP 9 report. That will make it incompatible with any prior versions of VFP.
>
>Steps to take:
>1) remove the 'set reportbehavior to 9' if you have not already done so.
>2) If you created the report with 9, delete it and re-create the report using VFP 7.
>3) If you want to test your system in 9, do 'set reportbehavior to 80' and make sure that you do not create any new reports in 9, until you are ready for production in 9.
