Could be,

The best thing would be using an absolute reference in the report, like table.field but it looks like you are using different aliases here.

But if it was the alias it should also hang on the other fields, or give wrong results if it gets data from a diferent table.

Another thing is that VFP don't support threading, so the code in the timer event should wait till this command has run.

>I think, I have a vague idea, why does it happen. I just checked it again, if I insert the Browse command just before REPORT FORM, it works fine. Otherwise it gives me this stupid error. I guess, it switches aliases somehow. The problem is, that this is a program, (Special app) which runs in a Form's DS. I believe Form uses a timer (this is not my application, so I don't know for sure). Therefore, this timer interfers with my program somehow. Now, does my explanation seem reasonable? What should be a workaround? In the meantime I ask my colleague, is it possible and what does she think. I probably would reorganize the special app to run in it's own DS by using session class (I already implemented it in another app with success).

>>>When I executing it, it gives me an Error message: variable Deeds is not found. This error comes from the Report itself, there this field used. Hovewer, if I insert browse just before report form line, it works just fine. What am I missing here?
