Subject Re: Reports stopped working From Andy Taylor <andy.taylor.1959@outlook.com> Date Sat, 25 Sep 2021 18:33:52 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Ruth, My guess is that MYTITLETEXT1 is defined in your "base" report that all the other reports all rely on. If the base report has been amended or corrupted so that items are now missing then you will get multiple problems. Your report class for startlist starts with: class STARTLISTREPORT of BASECREPORT from "Base.crp" Look in your application folder using Windows Explorer for a file called "Backup of base.crp" If it's there then open it and compare it to the contents of base.crp They are both text files so you can copy & paste to repair anything missing. dBase makes ONE backup copy automatically whenever you change a file with the designer in the IDE. The problem is of course that repeated attempts to use the designer to fix the problem may mean that your original file that worked is now only a figment of your own memory... fingers crossed that's not the case. Come back to the group if no joy (almost bedtime in the UK where I am).
