Group Footers not exporting to Text

[xicana]

Thanks to the search I did through these forums I'm able to generate a fixed width, multiple line report that I can then export to text (we're talking lines of about 320 characters). My report consists of data on group headers and footers. I also have some data on report header/footer. No data in the detail line is being exported.

I just noticed that the group footers are not exporting. I get blank lines where the group footers should be in the text file (the report footer exports just fine).

If it helps this is what my report layout is like this:

ReportHeader (Show - data present)
PageHeader (suppress)
GH1  (show - data present)
GH2A (show - data present)
GH2B (show - data present)
GH2C (show - data present)
GH2D (show - data present)
GH3A (show - data present)
GH3B (show - data present)
Details (suppress)
GF3 (Suppress)
GF2 (show - data present) [b]<---not showing up on text export[/b]
GF1 (show - data present) [b]<---not showing up on text export[/b]
ReportFooter (show - data present)
PageFooter (suppress)

The preview on the screen does show the GF2 and GF1 data and I did an RTF export which shows the data and so did a PDF export.

My export to text shows all data in the correct positions except for the data in GF2 and GF1. The text file produced by the export shows blank lines where the GF2 and GF1 data is supposed to be.
I tried not suppressing the sections that are suppressed but that didn't change anything.

Anyone have any suggestions?

So I downloaded all the patches and service packs to make sure it wasn't that...that didn't help.

Solution:

Create a new report, copied over the fields and formulas, used same layout, same tables same formulas...the second report exported the group footer lines.

The first report probably got corrupt at some point in my development.
