Title:
Report File is Invalid - Is this a bug?
1. Create a report, any report. Even one which is empty will suffice.
2. Create a Modal Form, with a button. In the button click event, issue a Modify Report for the report you created in Step 1.
3. When the report comes up, click the report toolbar and add some text.
4. Now click on the calling form (outside the rerport preview window area)
5. The report will prompt you if you want to save changes. If you press yes, you will get a Report File is Invalid error message. All the time. VFP 7 & 8
7. If you open the report frx file as a table, you'll notice a record where the Expr column is empty, and the timestamp and the objcode columns having a value of zero. If you delete this record AND pack the frx table, the report is once again usable. OR if add text to the Expr column it opens again.
