>Yes there is a grid on the form (please see earlier discussion) but the report is called from within a commandbutton 'cmdPrint.Click()'. cmdPrint would have focus at that time. However, inside cmdPrint.Click() I have included a line: this.SetFocus()

Another thing to try is to make sure SELECT youralias that's the source for the REPORT before you try to run it.
