Hi John,
>> Exporting to PDF splash window and then nothing.
this can happen in cases where there are records in the table range, but no details are printed (ie they're filtered out.) So in effect you end up with a "blank report" as distinct from "no records".
Or it could be the browse button problem fixed in 6.25.
>> I have never seen that before.
_bidv_ is the row id, included in URL's where you've specified it to "include the row id". Internally, when received, _bidv_ is mapped into the primary key fields for the primary table of the browse.
Cheers
Bruce
