What I cannot do, is get the form to print or make a PDF, so he can print the form(s) out for the individual contacts. If I go into edit mode, and export the form as a PDF, it is an editable PDF, but cannot save it. I know this may sound disjointed, and I apologize for this. My brother waited till today to ask for help. Any pointers on getting the FORM printable, and staying with the ability to enter new data? Thanks. hmmm- There was a problem with printing forms under 2.3.0 but with 2.3.1 and the 2.4 developer build there is no problem under Win, Linux anyways, I do it all the time and have setup others to do the same. Looking at the Community forum real quick however, there are a bunch of folks asking about print problems on the Mac but not about Base forms per si, rregular Writer files, and PDF's. Can your brother print a regular Writer file without any problems? If that is the case then perhaps try this. Open the form in edit mode - Save a copy of the form as an odt file. Now open the odt file and select ViewToolbarsForm Design Switch into design Mode ON and open the Form Navigator ( from this toolbar ) You have to set the datasource name and table names again for the dataform controls here. When done save your odt file, switch back to design Mode Off - you should have your data and you should be able to print. At least that is what I would try off the bat.

If I go into edit mode, and export the form as a PDF, it is an editable PDF, but cannot save it. I know this may sound disjointed, and I apologize for this.
