>I don't know if she has found a work arround for it yet. For me, it won't matter if there is one. I have nearly 500 reports in 3 commercial apps that would need to be "fixed" if there was a work arround. That's not the real issue, the issue is that for the last 10 years I have allowed my customers to create and modify their own reports. It is unlikely that I could do a bulk fix for reports that I don't have a clue as to their content and layout.

This bug is huge as far as I'm concerned. There is a workaround, but it requires applying the "fix" to each and every report which is not practical in many applications. We have hundreds of reports and it would take forever to go through each and every one.
