Report displays empty or all the same records

[andre65]

Hi All,

I have had this before, even more than once, and did not find any solution.

The problem:
I create my reports without using the report's dataenvironment, so tables and cursor used in the report are opened/filtered and created in my application. Printing or previewing reports often results in:

>the records to be printed are all the same, so for example when 4 different records must be printed, the 4 are all the same (like the first record).

>the records to be printed are empty, where numeric fields contains zero and character fields are blank.

Now, the strange thing is, is that when previewing the report the first time, it seems to be correct, but then when printing or zooming in/out the report, the above descbribed ghost appears.

I tried the following to avoid this:
>removed printer information from the report
>created one big cursor to be used by the report
>before calling REPORT, select the alias

Does anyone know what is going on here?
Should I use another report engine?

Thanks for any reply!!!

Gr,
André
