>Larry, go to your dataenvironment and actively set the alias to RSPMASTER (it's a cursor property). Also, double-check that you are either completely in the report data environment (all cursors in the Report DE, private datasession set on the Report menu) or that you are completely OUT of it (nothing in Report DE, private datasession off)

Could it be a memory problem? Generally when I've seen problems like this ("errors that don't make sense" I calls 'em) it has been traced to running out of memory. Basically, the machine 'forgot' where it put it.
