Sorry I couldn't tell you why though. I have a feeling that global variables *may* not always do what you expect within report blocks. If the report is ordered internally, the values of the global variables, when read within the report block, may not be in step with the program? -- Peter Neilson peter_neilson@lendlease.com.au
