It's not crashing on the SUM command. It's crashing on the SQL. I'm not printing to anything, actually. I'm doing a preview.

Thanks,

Michelle

>>When I run it the first time, it runs fine. But if I run it again, it crashes on the SQL SELECT. If I comment out the report call, I can run it over and over with no problems. But as soon as that report runs, the next time it hits the SQL, it crashes. By crashes, I mean crashes VFP.
