>I've noticed that when generating reports, VFP takes a blank field as a zero - which effects the average of the values at the end of a report I'm generating. Does anyone know a simple way to get around this - I've been exporting the tables to Excel, which simply ignores the blank fields (for the purposes of averaging)...but I'm quickly getting sick of doig it this way.

Don't use Foxpro's native average calculation. Instead, use report variables to calculate your own average. Have one variable, nSum, that has an expression of IIF(
<> 0, , 0) and has "SUM" marked as the calculation. Then create another variable, nCount, that has an expresion of IIF( <> 0, 1, 0) and mark "SUM" as the calculation. When you are ready to print the average, create an expression that is "nSum / nCount".
It's more work on your part, but it will work.
