>Hi, Timothy. I suggest that you restore the data state after running the report and before refreshing. It sounds like when the form is refreshed, the buttons are set to match the state of the data--and after the report I'd guess you're at EOF, but you're expecting that it looks like it looked before calling the report? HTH.

How do I access the 'data state' ?
Thanks
