Your reply: That could be considered not bug but just a limitation. However, indeed, this is rarely used and probably require a lot of effort from MS VFP team to fix this.

I like this reply! Even Mr. Gates cannot give better answer !


>OOPS, just not use set filter to. I guess VFP works the same way, but all these SET FILTEr's are used in background for each report when FOR is included in REPORT command. Because report is not waiting, filter got lost as soon as next command executed after REPORT FORM ... NOWAIT command, that temporary filter is dropped to make further executing of code consistent.
