Hello,
I have a report that I open through a Button.
If I set the Button to "Open Layout..." then no problem, the report
opens and I see all the record (in List view).
But I wish to open it in a new window.
So I created a script that opens a new window and then open the layout.
Result: the records are there (I can see them in Form and Table view)
but List view is emtpy.

Any ideas?

Thanks Bye
Jack

Could be the way the list is formatted. If the fields overlap the part
boundaries in the list layout, even by a slight amount, the fields may
not show up in the Browse or Preview mode. Make sure the fields are
entirely within the Body part of the layout, not even touching the
boundaries of the adjacent parts (header, summary, etc)

no overlaps.
And it doesn't explain why if I set the button to open directly the
report it works, but if I set the button to perform a script that opens
the report in a new window it doesn't work...

Update: it seems that I need to specifically Sort the records or I can't
see the sub-summaries.
