SET DESIGN ON Then quit dBASE. This will write that information into the .ini file. Somehow it sounds like it was set to "off", and stored that way. This will resolve that issue. > > I also can't remember how to make the repcntl.cc useable.  It's in the directory with all of the programs, reports, and tables. set procedure to repcntl.cc If it is in the directory with your code (which really isn't necessary) that should work. If it is not in the directory with the code: set procedure to :ReportControls:repcntl.cc Ken -- *Ken Mayer*, dBase, LLC Ken's dBASE Page: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase The dUFLP: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/index.htm#duflp dBASE Books: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/Books/dBASEBooks.htm dBASE Tutorial: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/Tutorial/00_Preface.htm dBASE Web Tutorial: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/WebTutorial/00_Menu.htm
