hello Chris.

How are you doing?

Sound a little like that you call a UDF from within the report which gets activated under certain conditions. maybe in that function you change aliases and the original alias is not beeing selected back at the end of the func.

maybe something to look into?

Sometimes I get just one lineitem, sometimes it repeats several times, and every once in a while, it prints correctly. Once, I previewed the report, and everything was correct. When I printed that one, the results weren't the same as the preview.

I've semi-proven this by including ALIAS() in the page header and the detail band, and seen it both the same and different. I've tried selecting the alias before starting the print routine, and in the report's dataenvironment.
