I got this message yesterday for the first time. Was not able to open a new report with the Wizard only with a blank report. the files are on a local machine. I clicked about 10 times on the retry but was not able to do anything. ____Thanks for any help in advance.

Got this error yesterday. Could not use the New Report Wizard or the Instant Report. Was bale touse Blank Report. Files on a local machine. XP operating system. Retry jumps back and forth between line 291 and line 504.__Rick Johnson

Thanks, worked like a charm. But I ask again, is there a white paper or Tech notes on building FlexLinks. It seems that calculated fields are almost always required and not all are obvious.__Rick Johnson__Rick Johnson

I can vouch for the slow time in searching for the printer. I had some very simple one page, 100 record reports that took 10-12 seconds to fine the printer until I put "D" -default in my control file(RRWRUNIN). As soon as I did that, my reports would start almost immediately.__Rick Johnson

Same Boat. Let us know it goes to upgrade and how R&R works with the "new" dbase. __Rick Johnson

Thomas, I sent a response to your Email but was looking at the wrong lines in my program. I should be:____RI_Printer = " "__and RI_WPTR = "R&R PDF Export"__and RI_outfile = "c:dir est.pdf"__The rest is right. Sorry for the mixup. __Rick Johnson__Rick Johnson

Thomas. I run 99% of my reports from runtime via Visual dBase. I use a dbase table (rrwrunin.dbf). I update one of the entries in the rrwrunin with the correct filename.pdf, an use run(.t.,"rrwrun rrwrunin 1") (useing record 1) and it runs perfectly. I have about 100 programs running like ...
