When we run a report through developer studio and have it print online as format EXL2K, it executes as defined by the style sheet settings. However, when we execute the same report to burst through report caster the font type changes for the numeric fields only (they are calc fields defined mostly as D14.3). All other columns print with the correct font type which is identical to the numeric fields. The odd thing is that this does not happen to first person the report is burst to, it is only happening to the people after the first. Any ideas on why this happening and how to fix it??

I was doing some research and apparently there is a known problem in Your version...with Bursting Excel Formulas in ReportCaster. I would open a case with IBI and see if it is related and they have a fix.

We found a work-around.
The original stle sheet commands were:
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, FONT='ARIEL NARROW', SIZE=8, COLOR=BLACK, BACKCOLOR=NONE, STYLE=NORMAL, WRAP=OFF, $
TYPE=HEADING, FONT='TAHOMA', SIZE=10, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLUE, $
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=4, FONT='TAHOMA', SIZE=8, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLUE, $
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=5, FONT='TAHOMA', SIZE=6, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLUE, $
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=6, FONT='TAHOMA', SIZE=6, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLUE, $
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=7, FONT='TAHOMA', SIZE=6, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLUE, $
TYPE=TITLE, SIZE=8, STYLE=BOLD+UNDERLINE, BACKCOLOR=YELLOW, $
TYPE=SUBHEAD, SIZE=10, FONT='ARIEL NARROW', COLOR=BLACK, STYLE=BOLD+UNDERLINE, $
TYPE=FOOTING, FONT='TAHOMA', SIZE=8, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLUE, $
ENDSTYLE
END

We changed them to:
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, FONT='ARIEL NARROW', SIZE=8, COLOR=BLACK, BACKCOLOR=NONE, STYLE=NORMAL, WRAP=OFF, $
TYPE=HEADING, FONT='TAHOMA', SIZE=10, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLUE, $
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=4, FONT='TAHOMA', SIZE=8, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLUE, $
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=5, FONT='TAHOMA', SIZE=6, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLUE, $
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=6, FONT='TAHOMA', SIZE=6, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLUE, $
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=7, FONT='TAHOMA', SIZE=6, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLUE, $
TYPE=TITLE, SIZE=8, STYLE=BOLD+UNDERLINE, BACKCOLOR=YELLOW, $
TYPE=SUBHEAD, SIZE=10, FONT='ARIEL NARROW', COLOR=BLACK, STYLE=BOLD+UNDERLINE, $
-*
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=P11,FONT='ARIEL NARROW', SIZE=8, COLOR=BLACK, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=P13,FONT='ARIEL NARROW', SIZE=8, COLOR=BLACK, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=P14,FONT='ARIEL NARROW', SIZE=8, COLOR=BLACK, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=P15,FONT='ARIEL NARROW', SIZE=8, COLOR=BLACK, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=P26,FONT='ARIEL NARROW', SIZE=8, COLOR=BLACK, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=P27,FONT='ARIEL NARROW', SIZE=8, COLOR=BLACK, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=P28,FONT='ARIEL NARROW', SIZE=8, COLOR=BLACK, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=P30,FONT='ARIEL NARROW', SIZE=8, COLOR=BLACK, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=P31,FONT='ARIEL NARROW', SIZE=8, COLOR=BLACK, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=P32,FONT='ARIEL NARROW', SIZE=8, COLOR=BLACK, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=P33,FONT='ARIEL NARROW', SIZE=8, COLOR=BLACK, $
-*

TYPE=FOOTING, FONT='TAHOMA', SIZE=8, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLUE, $
ENDSTYLE
END
