>With REPORTBEHAVIOR 80 (and as long as I can remember myself) if there is a syntax error, the execution of report stops, the wrong expression is shown and you can change it or at least you know where the error is. With REPORTBEHAVIOR set to 90 I either get no message at all (the Report just will not be executed), or the message is "Synthax Error" without to tell where and what is wrong. I could not figure out, which comes when, but in the second case all objects in report after you confirm the error message are suddenly selected (dots everywhere)


I see the same error regardless of SET REPORTBEHAVIOR but VFP doesn't bring report field properties dialog for offending field for REPORTBEHAVIOR set to 90. I would consider it a serious bug because it makes report debugging much harder.

>There are also other issues... Schould one stay at REPORTBEHAVIOR 80 for some time yet?

The more bugs you report the better chance is that some of them will be fixed in SP1. IOW, if you're interested in new Report Writer features, use it as much as possible and report all found bugs to MS.
