what silly thing am I doing wrong here?____Tried a control table__tried a control file____the file is:____RI_REPORT=PROPERTYCARD__RI_SCOPE=O__RI_LOSCOPE=201007__RI_HISCOPE=201007__RI_MINDEX=PROPCARD.MDX,C,MAPLOT__RI_WPTR=?____my comand line is:____RUN(TRUE,"RRWRUN /TRRPROP.TXT")__<< the "true" parameter indicates this is a windows program>>____If I screw up the command file - I get error messages but:____The report does not run__never get to the printer selection screen__there is a tiny flash in the taskbar and then nothing____I^ve tried everything I can think of and am just plain stumped - Its been a long day and I^m sure I simply can^t see the forest for the trees____

make sure rrwrun.exe can find your runtime table.

Got the error msgs to show up by adding RI_DISPERR to the control file____The error msg I^m getting is "Cannot open picture file Blank.Bmp"____There is no reference to such a file anywhere that I can find.____The report runs fine from within R&R but not the viewer____Thanks - I^m heading for a cold beer and bed - takle it again in the morning____John__

BLANK.BMP is the placeholder that R&R uses when your report contains a picture from field. You can find this file in the R&R program directory and then copy it to the runtime directory. This should get you past this error.____Kathleen__R&R Support

Ya know, I really like this program - I find it very intuitive and generally easy to use combined with the super support available here____BUT____Blank.bmp is not listed in the help file under "Distribution Files For The Viewer Executable"____And I had to add the /I switch to the command line to enable R&R to find it____BUT____Thanks to you problem seems to be solved - report runs fine and I^m a happy camper :)____John
