Do you have the FRT file? Are you using a VFP 9 report in VFP 8?

BTW, the command I think you're looking for is CREATE REPORT {reportfilename} FROM {table}

>I created programmatically report layout file invalidreport.frx
>(www.eetasoft.ee/invalidreport.zip) from report file stored in sql server.
>
>MODIFY REPORT invalidreport
>
>Causes error
>
>Report file invalidreport.frx is invalid.
>
>I verified file contents and all seems to be OK.

>Any idea ?

>What is the exact CREATE TABLE statement which can be used to create empty report layout file ?
