David,

Looking closely into output file my colleague noticed, that some lines were 'eatten'. It was exactly 31th line. So, she played with _ASCIIROWS settings and empirically determine the magic number for this particular report - 28!!!! Isn't it funny? :)))

Hopefully, this bug would be fixed in VFP7.0

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
