I had a report that worked well! It was displaying the right data on the screen with the desired layout. But everytime I wanted to export the data to a file (eg txt) the layout of the file was very different of that to the screen. What was the problem? At the design mode of the data report, in the details section, I had 6 fields at one row. Some of these fields were bigger in size than they had to be and so there was an overlapping with the next field. But in run mode, it had no problem. The problem was on trying to export it, where vb exporting mechanism, when finds such an overlapping, inserts a blank row next to the field, so the layout was far away of the normal. So, I found it, I shrink the fields at design mode, and now it is ok! But isn't it a bug to have a nice layout on screen and a different one on the file?
