Thanks Andrzej.

I'm using VFP9. This wasn't the answer I wanted to hear but it wasn't unexpected. I was editing only one report but had been making repeated changes and at one time or another ran a preview to different destinations (OneNote and SnagIt). And then I got torched. C'est la vie. At least I dodged the bullet this long.

I have a program that sets up the necessary environment then calls a MODIFY REPORT. My next task it to have it make a unique backup of the .FRX and .FRT files before the MODIFY command.

BTW, if you're in Poland your work hours are worse than mine.
