Why, yes, that is a frequent source of "fun".
In general, I would also recommend, to avoid the report flashing if there is no data:
select ...
if _tally > 0
report form...
else
ErrorMsg("No data for report. Perhaps you should change the selection criteria.")
endifI have this incorporated generically, into my reporting classes.
