Weird output with associated field

[Boaz Bezborodko]

OK, I've figured out what part of my problem was.  The report was being 
sent to Printwizard to get converted to a PDF.  This is done through a 
queue on the file server which, unknown to me, had been switched to 
disable mode somehow.  My file naming system uses today's date to 
isolate when a report was run since who would need more detail than 
that, right?  Well I didn't realize that the program was bringing up the 
older reports and that the new ones were OK.

So now I just have to figure out what was different in my programs that 
kept the records from printing out properly.
