I am a die hard dbase guy. I have a random problem when printing reports (via crystal) with VDB 5.7. when using the "elapse" function in a crystal report to calculate hours work, I randomly come up with a value for time worked that is one minute off (an incorrect 3.26 hrs vs a correct 3.25 hrs). obviously this affects the extended billing amount thereby causing my CFO to scrunch up her face at me. she has no sense of humor on this issue. there is no rhyme or reason. most times, reprinting the report immediately clears the problem. there are times where re-printing has been performed several times w/o resolution. the date in the tables is perfect and consistent with data printing in the same report correctly. we use time in 15 minute increments so the function should always return specific values. as we do more and more work, this is getting concerning. is it a bug? HHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!
