Just to confirm...yeah VFP will freak out if SCX's and FRX's order of records isn't maintained.

When I've done stuff like this I usually rebuild the SCX or FRX from scratch. I mean, I add the records into a new report structure from whichever source in the correct order.

>...but I would guess that VFP might get a little freaked out if the DE object wasn't the second record in the scx (it always is when VFP writes the scx).
