   Re: Report print problem...?

   On the surface (meaning I didn't debug your query or compare your field   
   names to that query) it looks pretty straight-forward.  You're saying that   
   the last part (r.print) is the part that fails?  Are you sure that the Print   
   actually fails, and it's not the fault of the r.close failing and causing a   
   Return?  I find that errorshow doesn't alway "show" something - I'd insert a   
   msgstop in addition so that you always see something if it errors out.
