Hi Don, thanks for the reply. I am trying the download free 1-month trial to see if the stand-alone designer can recognize any problems. I believe I have synched the form to the database several times and that it saved correctly (with intermittent crashes) prior to the upgrade. After the upgrade, it would save, provided I made no changes to the form. Changing a border on 1 field was enough to crash it during a save. I will let you know if the CR 2013 version finds any corruption problems. One other thing to note, this is an old report that was written using either 2003 or 2005 and has been upgraded over time to 2005, 2008 and 2010. I recently pulled it off the shelf and was applying changes when this problem popped up.
Just waiting for the download to complete, I will lete you know.
Neil
