Gustav and Jim,

Things worked out all right after I reformatted the drive and re-installed Office 2000 Premium and the Access 2000 Runtime application. It looks like it was an unfortunate sequence of events resulting from 1) a serious virus infestation, and 2) the misunderstanding of the Runtime application by the people hired at first to re-format the drive.

It now looks like an older version of the Runtime application was installed. That older version used Access 97 Runtime. Then, I think, Office 2000 Premium was installed and then the update to the Runtime app to convert it to Access Runtime 2000...I can't really say. I wasn't there.

Anyway, the effect was that they experienced the wierd number disappearances in any Access report. That's fixed now and I'm tired of trying to figure out what happened. Do you ever get that way?
