it's my record select so in the formula there is

{co.co} = "company name"
and
{checkdate.startdate} = "01/01/2013"
and
{checkdate.enddate} = "09/26/2013"
and
{labor.detcode} IN ["401k", "403M", "403B", "403S", "L403B"]

and you have tested each of the values seperately to make sure that each one (not just one or two) gets the expected results?
I suspect that the either their is a join issue. if you can run it per value and get each to run correctly you (in theory) can use a parenthed OR statement, but there is no reason that should work over the IN statement.

again my 2 cents...

have you tried breaking up the formula into smaller bits to 'debug' it...just to make sure that what you think is occurring, really is...

In it's own way, that is the most difficult part of report writing...since there is no stepping through the code, it's a black box and it either works or it doesn't...and when it doesn't it can be difficult to figure out why.
