Hi Audisho, Excellent, that's done the job. Thanks a lot. Whilst I'm bathing in naivety, perhaps you can give me a couple of hints on a few other problems I'm having: When I enter "LegalAddressState", the field comes up blank.

Hi CDvin, We deployed an update today that resolved the issue with portal registration. Please test this out and let me know if you still have any concerns. I hope this helps. -Audisho

Hi, In report designer, I try to access a crossbandline in script. However, I always get error like: Detail.OnBeforePrint, Line 27: error BC30451: Name "cvbl5" is not declared.
