>I check all that, and it still didn't work so I deleted the report and recreated the report. Now it works fine. Thank you for all you help. By the way one more question, if I have a field name like tot_pay, can I do an expression in detail line like tot_pay/percentage? percentage is a variable in my form that I need to divde by for tot_pay amount. Thanks again

Yes Nick,
You can. Whatever variable is accessible by the routine (procedure, function, method, event) that called report, is accessible by report even if it's defined local. ie:

* form.somecommandbutton.click
* thisform.text1 and thisform.somecustomproperty exists
local lnPercentage
lnPercentage=200
report form myReport


myReport can use lnPercentage, thisform.text1.value, thisform.somecustomproperty just as if it were part of routine (and in fact it's).
