I saw a note in the online discussion about save_select storing a header record. I have noticed this. If I do a save_select and then call reporter (reporter is using your GETLIST routine), reporter beeps when it executes the getlist. I assume it is because of the header record. Is this true?



Also, does Activate_Save_Select strip the header off or do I have to always skip record 1?

<QUOTE>We've used the 'Getlist' routine in reporter, with lists I know have the header record - and it seems to be OK. Activate_Save_Select takes care of the header by looking for the delimiters (I believe).



The only time you should have to be concerned with it would be when you directly read a record from the SYSLISTS file - then you would have to check/skip the first field.



Are you getting any other error message when the report executes?

<QUOTE>No other errors. It just beeps sometimes, but maybe it is not because of the header record. Thanks for the info.
