Well!,well!,well!, Mervyn, Your suggestion to name the Report view_results.rep solved the problem. I had it named Excav.rep It all works perfectly now.

Your analysis  of the original Code I posted and then to come up with quite a long post of new code is much appreciated!.

Thanks to you an Heinz!
