I dropped the view, changed the two suspect lines to:

iif(OD.lCresting,iif(OD.nCrest_Sty = 1,"Oval","Emb."),space(4)) as cCrest_Sty,;
padr(trim(PLS.cDescrip)+iif(G.cStyle="P","x"+trim(PLL.cDescrip),""),10) as cSize ;

… then recreated it. The idea was good, but the problem remains. Are there any related bugs in VFP 7 that are fixed in VFP 9? I think there is some background issue going on, but I don’t know where to look.
