Hi Walter - You won't believe it! Remember this issue? I nailed it! Or at least, I figured out how to get rid of it.

My partner wrote a simple framework for this system, and as part of it, whenever the user resizes any form or pageframe, it automatically calls the resize method of each contained object. Before I run the form, I dump the ctrl-f10 into the keyboard buffer to automatically maximize the report. This calls the resize method for everything on the page from which I called the report. I don't know why, but by ensuring that the resize method doesn't fire as the report window is opening, I've eliminated the problem - or so it seems.

So it was the resize method tripping up the form. I don't know if this could be related to your problem, but I thought I'd share this with you since it's been gnawing at me every since our discussion.

Take care,

David

Also, I'm getting a very occassional C000000000000005 fatal error after the report runs, but I think that is a separate issue, which I'm also trying to debug.
