Help???? > >Dave Can you okease be more specific? How are you looking at the tables to verify that the data exist? How are you generating the reports (s) that are not functioning properly? How familiar are you with 4d, and what have you tried to do to remedy this? Are the missing data in the detail area of the layout? Are you generating a report with break processing activated? Are you having trouble with a subfile? I've had horrible experiences with 4d when importing data... Most related to 4d not importing fields containing null strings properly. More specific information would really help us help you. Examples of the relevant code and description of the relevant structure and layout(s) might be a good start, as well as how you imported the data, and how you exported it from FM.
