Charlie, Genius, that was it!!!!! Once I set focus to a textbox before printing the report it printed perfectly. I wonder why it doesn't affect the Preview mode of "report form..." though?
I've never come across it before because I normally have a print class which displays a modal form with no grids etc to allow selection of the printeror print preview and I've always used this since the year dot. I'll knock up a similar class for the Organizer to allow me to select a printer as opposed to "report form printer prompt..." Thanks again Charlie especially but everyone else who took time out to look at the problem. This list is THE best.

But if you don't have any grids active while you're doing the report, you can probably just ignore the rest of this message. I'm not sure it still exists in VFP (8 or 9). But here is what I've encountered: If you do a REPORT FORM call while a Grid on a form has focus, the current alias will get switched to the Grid's recordsource after the REPORT FORM gets called. This happens IF the grid has focus at the time the report is invoked. I couldn't find the KB article on MS's web site. My workaround was to make sure and shift focus off any grid before doing the REPORT FORM command. This may explain some of the behavior you're seeing. E.g. if you do some steps which end up moving focus off the grid (or off the form containing the grid), the REPORT FORM command would work. -Charlie [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
