>I usualy send the data to a temp file then print it. My problem is after I set up my report using the temp filename the next time I run it and the file name is different because they are generated by using the sys(3) function I get an error that the alias (whatever the original temp file was named) is not found and would I like to locate it. I can locate the new filename and it runs ok but its a pain and I am sure the users on our company lan are not going to like this at all!

Delbert,

Did you create the report using the report designer? If so, did you add Temp1 to the report's data environment? If so, then the report will look for Temp1 whenever you run the report.

Take a peek at the report's data environment (view/data environment) and see if Temp 1 is not in the data environment.

regards,
