If the function is not available at the time you press the Verify button, it will declare it invalid. That's okay if you know for sure that the function will be available at the time you run the report so you can ignore the message.



>I have placed the Function (FillPict.prg) in the following directories. In the Reports dir, Programs dir, which are subdirectors of the app and also in the the defualt director of the app.


You said you placed function Fillpict.prg in the directory. FillPict should either be a program by itself .. or it should be a function in a program that is accessible. Just curious .. did you create FillPict.prg and use the following line inside of the program:

FUNCTION FillPict

If this is the case, I see the problem. Either take out the FUNCTION line in the program .. or move the chunk of code to whatever procedure file you might have in the app (SET PROCEDURE TO xyz).
