Yes it is a bug and I have been complaining about this bug to MSFT for quite some time. Values of variables .. and positions of record pointers .. are not always the same at the point the print when logic is evaluated compared to the point when the objects are printing. The code that evalutes the Print When logic is clearly in the wrong spot in the Report Engine .. but MSFT hasn't been listening to me on this one and keeps refusing to do anything about it!!

I submitted another bug report with this example to Microsoft Connect. The bug number is 293615. Please feel free to add your feedback to the bug. Maybe if enough of us scream about this they will do something!
