It seems like the big issue is the {@Fill Date} in minimum({?Date Range}) to Maximum({?Date Range})
this is the one that wipes the data

Fill Date Formula:
NumberVar fldYear; // ^^--Replace me!
NumberVar fldMonth;
NumberVar fldDay;
NumberVar fldDate := {TRANS.DATEFLD};
// Break down the date into logical parts
fldYear := (
If fldDate >999999 Then
Truncate(fldDate / 10000)
Else
1900 + Truncate(fldDate / 10000)
);
fldMonth := Truncate(Remainder(fldDate, 10000) / 100);
fldDay := Remainder(fldDate, 100);
// Make into Date type
If (fldMonth In 1 To 12) And (fldDay In 1 to 31) Then
Date(fldYear, fldMonth, fldDay)
Else
Date(0,0,0)
The report does have a date range parameter

to continue debugging
The formula looks valid but i do not know the data that it is altering. It appears your 'date' is stored as a numeric value.
1. if you place both the Fill Date formula and the trans.datefld on the detail section next to each other does the formula actually give you the date you expect to see from the original field?
2. Create a formula Minimum({?date range}) and place it in the report header to make sure the the value from the param is coming as expected.
3. Create a formula Maximum({?date range}) and place it in the report header to make sure the the value from the param is coming as expected.
4. Create another formual field {@Fill Date} in minimum({?Date Range}) to Maximum({?Date Range}) and place it in the detail section. It should return TRUE and FALSE depedning on if the row is int he date range or not.
Which one of these, if any, are not acting as expected?

Sorry I am confused.
01-04-2012 appears to be either a date field or a text field but not numeric. The Fill Date inicdates it as numeric?
Shouldn't the raw data from the {TRANS.DATEFLD} field look like the below?
19990115
20110401
20101204
If you place the {TRANS.DATEFLD} and the FIll date side by side it should be something like this...
19990115 1/15/1999
20110401 4/1/2011
20101204 12/4/2010
What are you getting?

also whan you say it is run daily, that indicates to me that there may be a predefined date range that it is running for. Is that true and if so what are the rules for that? For example; always this weeks data, or month to dat, or last 24 3 days, etc.

i am getting date values rturned but they are not the right dates if I set my parameters as 9-24-2011 through 9-26-2011 I am still getting data for other dates such as 12-01-2011. When I say that it runs daily I mean someone goes in and enters the parameters daily.
