I'm not trying to delete anything. All I do is issue the command
"report form (lcRptName) to printer prompt noconsole", where lcRptName holds
the name of the report file to run. I've used the debug window, and lcRptName
gets the correct value; it just can't find the report on the first try. The
second time, it finds it.

Although... the reports do run from Views, which create a cursor. Maybe the
view isn't opened the first time the report is run, but the second?
