REPORT FORM IA200000 TO FILE c:\temp\temp.ps NOCONSOLE   && The formset is closed

Anyone know why the NAME clause is mandatory for my formset to stay alive?

Perhaps the reference becomes global and thus keeping the formset from releasing. I never used NAME option in report command and don't see a need for this unless you add some tables programmatically into report's DE using this NAME reference.
