David, The source and destination database is the same. I had to re-create the old database in order to cleanup some problems.
I had unloaded forms from the old database using "unload data fro reports whe rname exi" . I then loaded them into a blank Reports table using "Load reports fro reports.dat". I also tried run and input commands. It seems that for a few reports loaded this way I got the "Report data is incorrect" error message. I verified that the report had valid column names and variables as you suggested. What I ended up doing was recreating the entire data base with unloads and loads except for Forms And Reports, which worked out well. I'm just trying to keep this database in good shape until my client decides to upgrade to the latest and greatest.

Could it be that the database from which you took the report has fields that the database you are importing to does not? As for the ASCII, I haven't tried that on reports or forms. I just UNLOAD DATA FOR REPORTS to a file and then INPUT or RUN the file into the new or other database. I hope this helps, Dave Fitts -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Eyring Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2008 3:11 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Loading Reports Rbase 2.11 I have a Dos 2.11 db that has good reports that I need to load into another Dos 2.11 db. I matched the null and character settings in both databases. I have tried. Null is set to -0-. "Load reports from reports.dat as ascii" - unloaded as ascii "Input Reports.dat" - unload all from reports Most reports have come over ok, but there are some good reports that when opened in the 2nd database give an error of "Report data is incorrect - check the data". I have also tried bringing the problem report over individually - no luck. Can anyone help ?
