Hi,

I am trying to position columns in a report as below.
 BUSINESSNUMBER AS 'Dealer #'
     BUSINESSNAME IN +1 AS 'Dealer Name'


I saved the report, ran the report. It works just fine. I closed the report, switched back to Report tab (from Source tab), switched back again to Source tab, my above changes are gone. ( I see 
 BUSINESSNUMBER AS 'Dealer #'
     BUSINESSNAME AS 'Dealer Name'
in place of 
 BUSINESSNUMBER AS 'Dealer #'
     BUSINESSNAME IN +1 AS 'Dealer Name'
).

What I am trying to say is, my changes are not being saved when I am trying to do absolute positioning of the columns in a report. Am I doing anything wrong ? Did this happen to anybody else too ? If yes, what is to be done ?

Thanks.

The problem is the GUI tool. There is a ton of valid code that you can put in the report to fancy things up that the GUI just doesn't understand. And you found one of them. Dialogue Manager is another and if you've added comments for documentation (heaven forbid!), they are all moved to the top of the procedure.

Solution: once you get it the way you want it, don't switch back to the GUI. You'll have to edit in text mode from that point forward.
