Thanks for the very interesting tip. I was fortunate that all of mine that no longer worked properly were table data
and not variables so just changing them to DBCALC solved it for me after wondering 'what wasn't working right'.
Take care,
Ed

I know some people don't like converting 6.5 forms and reports, prefering to start from scratch. But I like converting and then cleaning up, and I rarely have problems.
However, converting a complicated 6.5 report with multiple break levels sometimes caused the report variables not to evaluate at all, or evaluate in the wrong sections. Even though the break points looked okay, and the variables were shown as being calculated in the right band, they just didn't seem to stick. I've had a bunch of those in a current 6.5 conversion, and I actually found a way to fix it!
Go into the break points of the 7.6 report, write down the correct column breaks. Then one by one, change each break to any other column, saving the report at each level. When you have changed each break to something different, then start at the top and change it back to the correct break column. Each time, my report came alive and all my variables evaluated correctly!
