I know this sounds a bit basic, but I had a report that has worked fine
for a good while in Win6.1a, 6.5, and 6.5++, but when I went to 6.5++
the report acted as if it no idea what the LINE setting was anymore. I
recreated the report and it worked fine. This of course did not satisfy
me so I kept digging, and believe it or not I found that there was a
.#DATE variable defined in the PH section but was set to the DETAIL
section, and this seemed to make the few records and 2 line RF section
that was at the end of the report disappear. After I changed the
section, the second page appeared with the correct PH, detail records,
and the RF... All is fine in wonderland again.

P.S. For those who just might have wondered, I cannot get email to the
list from my work site any longer. This one is coming from the house.
Our (*$%(*$ ISP says they can't figure out why. They installed some
homegrown filter/spam software and it has locked me out of sending to or
responding to the sonetmail server from our account at work. I might get
time later this week to check into and HTML based webmail to get/reply
and send messages from. I have been setting up one our subsidiary
companies with a new network, wiring, hardware and all and things have
been real busy.
