She is running the same .arc, with the same sacego, as the 'good' user. That leaves the environment (no joy) and the engine (is she connecting to the same engine) - I need to check to make sure that there is indeed a log record noting her IStar connection - but in my other tests she was looking at the same databases. Additional piece of info: the ace report in question is doing: select tab1.a,tab1.b from tab1 where a=$var format if count = 0 then print "No records found" else print b using "<<<<" end The report is literally that simple. It is this second print (print b) where the error occurs. I have tried completely qualifying the column (tab1.b - I can't remember if that works syntactically - seems suspect to me) as well as aliasing, and removing 'tab1' from the column spec. No joy - red herring? cheers j. _____________________________________________________________________________ Jack Parker - Hewlett Packard, DMD/IS Boise, Idaho, USA jparker@boi.hp.com Currently on loan to PLD/PE _____________________________________________________________________________ Outside of a dog a book is a man's best friend.
