I have a worksheet in a file that is comprised of a lotus data table with columns and headings and range named List1. I have been creating reports from this table for sometime with out any problems. All of a sudden tonight it is giving me problems when I try to use the groups and totals layout. Even though I'm only designating 4 fields that are very narrow it gives me a message saying "Couldn't fit all of the fields into the body. The first field(s) were added. Go to the Design and choose add field from the worksheet or form menu and add the remaining fields."

Even though there are multiple entrys for each group it will only show one line and it will not show the headings on the report. I can add the fields but it will only show them as one line and will not show the headings. This blows me away that this just started. I have a user group meeting on Thurs. of this week, Oct 3, and must train the group to do reports. They are users of an accounting program I developed that exports info to a 123 file containing the data table. They need to run database reports on their machines and I was to show them how. PLEASE get back to me on this or let me know of someone I can call because at this point I am desperate.

I'm using an highend HP laptop running Lotus 97, Lotus Approach 97 and Windows XP home version. Lotus has been running just fine on XP and I've been doing fine with creating reports until now. Had same problem with Windows 2000 on my desktop but no problem on my laptop so I've just been doing them on my laptop until this happened tonight.

Thank you, Jim Link (916) 988-7382
