Typically, that ususally means that you have a table in the Dataenvirionment of the Report that hold different information that the intended data. Mike Gagnon

HI

Are you using a cursor or a View. It appears, you may be using a VIEW.

While some one can ask.. what is wrong with a view...

It is likely that you are using some variable in the report which is the same as variable outside of the report. SO when the report is rolled out for preview, the values are changed. That will change the views parameter values or the filter you use for the cursor.

SO the second run of the report form provides you a wrong set of records.

I think you have to investigate this and correct ramani

This means per the above...

open your data environment on your table and

remove the table(s) from them

Hi GreyWalk,

I do not know if you seriously meant that. Tables dont have DE. What Mike meant is Reports DE and remove the tables in that. However, preview is working correctly is what has been mentioned. So I dont think that is the problem here.

I had a similar problem like this at one time.

It did involve a Variable I was Calculating on a Given field and needed a running total. When it actually printed it picked up where it left off for instance

Item 1 200 200
Item 2 150 350
Item 3 500 1,050

That was the results I wanted. What I was getting on mthe preview screen was just that. On the printout it would come out like this

Item 1 200 1,250
Item 2 150 1,400
Item 3 500 1,900

I just told them on that report they could not have a preview screen for it. It was a small enough report for that to be ok.

Is this the same type of thing you are coming across?
