Sergey's suggestion is what I would suggest. Create three fields on the report, one for the description when no date is required -- set it's print when to the applicable condition. Add two other fields, Date and Description that should be used when both are required and set their Print When logic to the applicable condition.

>>Double-check the report definition and make sure that it is really printing "Date1" as you expect. Another thing to do is confirm that the cursor is correct by putting a BROWSE in the code just after you do the massive SQL SELECT. It may be that the cursor is correct but you are accidentally printing the wrong field.
