Subject Re: CODE WORKS IN NATIVE DBASE, BUT NOT COMPILED DBASE From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Mon, 28 Nov 2022 02:36:15 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Ed, After looking at the docx document you included, I see that this at least a pre-db2K dBASE version, since you are using automem variables. Someone with more in-depth XDML experience will have to try to answer you. I never played with Crystal Reports either, even though I may have had a version that included it in some distant past copy. The exact information will still be needed for these folks to help you narrow down the problem.
