Thanks for the reply!

I checked and we are using this and apparently this did help with the original problem of recompiling packages causing forms to fail. The two options are TimeStamp and Signature with Signature being the more useful of two. This however still leaves me without a solution to the reports not working again. I am going to look more into this today and put up a test case. Received on Wed Aug 27 2003 - 14:06:28 CEST
