I also searched Google and arrived at the same conclusion. This is contrary to what I have be been told, but I think we are correct as the term is still used extensively.

Many thanks for your help!!

galley0,

I very often use "wreak havoc" in my speech. So I don't see what the big deal is about wrought havoc. I am confident that you can use it with confidence.
