Hmmm that is definitely weird I can repeat it in VFP8SP1 on my computer everytime. I have XP Pro as the OS, maybe that has something to do with it. Anyone else can repeat the problem?

>>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.
