Myron, Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, you are right, I did have a PRINT WHEN in the total, and when I removed it, it worked fine. So simple, I should have thought of that. Thanks so much. I wish every problem was this easy to resolve.

Peter

==========================
>>I am using VFP 5.0a and I have a very simple report that just uses two tables and lists details that meet a certain criteria. There is also a total that is displayed in the Summary Band of the report.
>>
>>Everything works fine except when the summary band is printed on a new page when no detail bands are present. Then the total simply does not print. It is blank. The text "Report Total" prints, so I know the summary band is being printed, just not the actual total. As soon as we add one detail line to the page everything is fine.

>>Any ideas? TIA, Peter Renton
