DB is backed up every Friday (often several times a week) and stored in an "Old DB" directory plus copies I take home to other computers. The problem report file had just run a regular report just a few hours before the error message. Getting a replacement is easy. What caused the problem is the issue.

Tom, Opening a Form, Label, or Report in a designer, the appropriate designer first reads everything accordingly. During this process, if any control and/or string cannot be read, a "Stream Read Error" is generated. Your best option is to find the last good database to bring back the good report and replace the corrupted report. That is the most easiest and time saving solution. Having learned that lesson, make a habit of saving all your forms, labels, and reports as a backup. To automate the entire backup of all your database(s) (local or on the network), take a look at R:BASE Total Backup!

Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
