Burt,
I did not actually create a vfp9 report. I was running existing reports created with VFP 7. I wanted to see how they would look as VFP 9 reports - result: full of *****. The question I have deals with why the VFP 7 EXE just seems to ignore the Set Reportbehavior command while the development envir reports an error.
A problem is a problem only as long as it has a possible solution. Lacking that, it becomes a FACT!
