Yuri,

As another possibility, I may do it in a program, e.g write a special program to produce desired output, which is not very hard. Still in this case I would regret my wasted time on the report :(

>May be you're right. Now I'm having problems with this stupid report again. It works perfectly in Preview window, but it doesn't go properly into ASCII file. It inserts blank records whatever it wants. I'm experimenting with different _asciirows and _asciicols combinations, but haven't luck so far. It would be a pity, if I have to repeat all over again in FPD because of this problem. I'll try Generic/Text printer, may be this would help...
