Thank you very much.

That was my next suspicion considering the error notes were concerning dates and since I had just installed several new reports that each came with their own version of that file. Perhaps I ended up with one of the earlier versions.

All is well now.

The layout of options is a bit cumbersome, but I suppose there’s not much to be done about it. I’m getting the hang of it anyhow.
