[Dxbase] Band "Description" Different

[Jim Preston]

Bob,

Specifically, what report were you trying to create? Were you using one
of the reports built into DXBase, or were you designing your own. Many
of the reports built into DXBase do show the band in meters. It would be 
helpful to know which report you were trying to use.
